coronal patch rather broad, the white separating these two areas 

 rather narrow. 



The ten males measure: Wing, llT-124 mm. (120.5) ; culmen, 13.5- 

 15 (14); the five females: Wing, 111-114 (111.9); culmen, 13-14 

 (13.5). 



Weigold took a series in the same general region that was assigned 

 to this form by Doctor Hartert.^^ 



72. CALANDRELLA BRACHYDACTYLA DUKHUNENSIS (Sykes) 



Alauda dukhunensis Sykes, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1832, p. 93 (Deccan). 



One male, Weihsi, 8,000-9,000 feet, northwest Yunnan, Sep- 

 tember. 

 Apparently not recorded from the Province before.

Two males and two females, northwest Yunnan (Likiang Moun- 

 tains, 10,000 feet, January-February and September; Yungning 

 Plain, 9,300 feet. May). 



The wings of the above two males measure 100 and 103 mm.; the 

 two females, 99 and 100. Another male taken on a previous trip in 

 the Likiang Mountains in April has a wing measurement of 94 mm. 

 Two males from the mouth of the Yangtze have wings measuring 

 100 and 100.5 mm.; one male from Yochow, Hunan, has a wing of 

 99 mm.; the wings of five males from southern Szechwan measure 

 90, 91.5, 93, 95.5, and 98 mm. Two males from Hongkong measure : 

 Wing, 91 and 92 mm. Thus the supposed difference between the 

 Yangtze Valley bird and that of southern China does not seem to 

 hold good, but the material at hand from the latter locality is small 

 and not conclusive.
