A NEW RACE OF LONG-TAILED TITMOUSE. 

 By ERNST HARTERT. 



JN Vog. pal. Fauna, i. p. 385, I said, having exammed a few specimens, that 

 Pyrenean Long-tailed Titmice were mdistinguishable from British roseus 

 I have since received, in the Tring Museum, a series of 27 specimens from the 

 neighbourhood of Cauterets, Central Pyi-enees, collected by J. Mousques, mostly 

 at altitudes of 900 to 1,400 m. These birds differ from Aegithalos caudatus 

 roseus of the British Isles as follows : 



The black bands on the sides of the head are wider and extend further 

 forwards, often right on to the bUl. Looked at en face they show therefore much 

 less white than roseus. The Pyrenean form is thus nearer to Ac. caudatus taiti 

 from Portugal, but the black lateral bands on the head are not quite as wide 

 as in taiti and the back has as much pink as roseus, wings as m roseus. 



Hab. : Central Pyrenees. Type : <J ad. Reine Hortense near Cauterets, 

 1,400 m., 22. iii. 1907. J. Mousques leg. (Trmg Museum).
