Two males and one female, northwest Yunnan (Fuchuanshan, 

 9,800 feet, September; and Shintsang, 11,000 feet, September). 



This series of three specimens is paler below, with whiter throats, 

 than the same number of Y. n. 7iig rimentuim in the National Museum 

 from Sikkim and Darjeeling. The National Museum has a series of 

 seven specimens from Tseo J ia Keo, in Szechwan south of Suif u and 

 just north of the Yunnan border, taken in March. The latter are 

 paler tlian the three Yunnan specimens; more so, in fact, than the 

 latter are from the Indian race. I have uamed this race Yiikina 

 nigrhnentwn quartaJ"^

This specimen is quite pale below, probabh' because of fading. Re- 

 cently Doctor (nahain sent in three males taken on Mount Omei, 

 Szechwan ; these were much paler than grlseotincta and were named

 yangpiemls was originall^^ named from Yangpi on the Talifu Road, 

 western Yunnan, and has never been taken there since, but has been

 more strongly washed below Avith rufous than Yuhina gularis gularis.
