44 Riley — Description of a New Dryona&es from China. 



Remarks. — Besides the paler colors, Dryonastes perspicillatus shensiensis 

 has the feathers of the crown and cervix less strongly edged with hair 

 brown ; the middle tail feathers are wood brown while in D. p. perspicil- 

 latus they are mars brown. Shensi seems to be out of the given range of 

 D. p. perspicillatus and in a different faunal area. 



Among the birds from the type locality of the above described race 

 there was a single specimen of Nannus troglodytes idius (Richmond), 

 which extends the range of this bird considerably to the west.
