males, five females, and two imsexed, Szechwan (Dshizhi, north of 

 Kiilu and west of the Yalimg, 13,500 feet, April; Mount Gibboh, 

 13,000 feet, Muli, December). 



88. SUTHORA FULVIFRONS CYANOPHRYS David 



Suthora cyanophnys David, Journ. Trois Voy. Emp. Chin., vol. 1, p. 345, 1875 

 (Chensi meridion. ) . 



Three males and three females, Ndamiicho, Yangtze-Mekong 

 Divide, 14,000 feet, northwest Yunnan, October; one male, Dshizhi, 

 north of Kulu and west of the Yalung, 13,500 feet, southwest Szech- 

 wan, April. 



This race is quite distinct from Suthora fulvifrons fulvifrons in 

 being much lighter in color, the dark bands on each side of the crown 

 being slaty gray, instead of tawny-olive, and there are other differ- 

 ences. I have never seen a specimen from Shensi and do not believe 

 any have been taken there in recent years. 



89. SUTHORA WEBBIANA RICKETTI (Rothschild) 



Paradoxornis webliana riclcetti Rothschild, Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, vol. 43, p. 11, 

 1922 (Yangtze Valley, Yunnan). 



One adult male and four females or immature males (two marked 

 males, the remainder unsexed), northwest Yunnan (Luddii Moun- 

 tains, 12,000-13,000 feet, August; Yulo, west of the Likiang Moun- 

 tains, 7,000 feet, August) ; one male and one female, southwest 

 Szechwan (Yanwekong, 10,700 feet, May). 



The adult male has a much larger bill than the female. These 

 do not exactly agree with the original description. The chest and 

 throat have a slight vinaceous-fawn cast, though in the younger 

 specimens they are white. I have not been able to examine a specimen 

 of /Suthora webhiana styani, but I am under the impression that it 

 and the present race do not belong to the webhiana group.

Mecistura vinacea Veeeeaux, Nouv. Arch. Mus, Paris, vol. 6, Bull., p. 39, 1870 

 (mountains of Chinese Tibet) ; Nouv. Arch. Mus. Paris, vol. 7, Bull., p. 76, 

 1871 (type from Ourato). 



Two males, Likiang Mountains, 10,000 feet, Yunnan, Janu- 

 ary-February. 



When two specimens were recorded from the Lashipa Plain, 

 Yunnan," Rothschild ^s questioned the identification, thinking they
