Blyth regards the following species as geograpliical races of this bird : IT. Gnnna, 

 Sykes, of South India; II. nirifrrimu-i, Gould, of Formosa ; and II. perniger, Swinhoe, 

 of Hainan. In II. leucocephalus, Gmcl. {^Titrdits mclakucus, Gray; H. niveiceps, 

 Swiuhoo), of China, however, we have the same type, with the coral-red bill, but the 

 black cap replaced by jiure white ; a i-emarkable variation, which is repeated among 

 the black-headed and white-headed cinnamon-coloured munia grosbeaks.

Lord Walden regards this last as a representative race of JIaruIa, and Blyth makes 

 the same remark of H. caataneinotus, Swinhoe, from Hainan. Hunie himself describes 

 his two species as the "Northern and Southern allied races" and such they doubtless 

 are (S.F. vi. p. 299).

 season its musical, though little varied notes, arc often heard. It is rarely seen 

 at Tavai."
