NOVITATES ZOOLOOICAE XXV. 1918. 433 



south-western Atlas in Marocco. Jays are said to be common in the Djebel 

 Amour west of Laghouat in Algeria, and they must also be G. g. oenops. 

 1r. Garrulus glandarius brandtii Eversm. 



Siberia to Corea, Manchuria, Sachalin, Northern China, and Yesso. 



(S3Tionynis : taczanowskii, bambergi, ussuriensis). 

 Is. Garrulus glandarius ja-ponicus Schleg. 



Hondo and Kiusiu Islands, also Yakushima and probably Sikoke. 



2. Garrulus diaphorus La Touche 1915. 



North Chi-li, N. China. 



3. Garrulus bispecularis bispecularis Vig. 



Western Himalaya. 

 3a. Garrulus bispecularis interstinctus Hart. 



Sikkim and Eastern Nepal. 

 3b. Garrulus bispecularis persaturatus Hart. 



Shillong, Khasia Hills. 

 3c. Garrulus bispecularis harringtoni Rippon. 



Mt. Victoria, S. Chin Hills. 

 3d. Garrulus bispecularis rufescens Rchw. 



North Yunnan. 

 3e. Garrulus bispecularis sinensis Swinh. 



China (see above). 

 3f. Garrulus bispecularis pekingensis Rchw. 



Peking. Requires further confirmation, perhaps widespread. (See above.) 

 3g. Garrulus bispecularis taivanus Gould. 



Formosa. 



4. Garrulus leucotis Hume. 



Burma. 



5. Garrulus oatesi Sharpe. 



Chin Hills, N.E. Burma. 



(Probably subspecies of G. leucotis, from which it diif ers by having the crown 

 narrowly striped with blackish brown, instead of entirely black.) 



The two following species have been separated generically by Reichenow : 

 Lalocitta lidthi (Bp.). 



Amami Island, Loo Choo group. 

 Laletris lanceolatus (Vig.). 



Western Himalaya. 



I fully appreciate the value of Laletris, the stiffened lanceolate feathers of 

 the throat and the crested crown being good generic characters, and I cannot 

 help also admitting Lalocitta, the somewhat stiff, velvety-like feathers of the 

 forehead, stiffer feathers of the crown, and stiff lanceolate feathers of the upper 

 throat being sufficiently well marked.
