52 PEOCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.80 



Heteroxeuious sinensis ranges as far to the westward as Yunnan, but 

 if it does it belongs to a different species and has nothing to do with 

 the cniralis group. 



The single male of H. sinensis measures: Wing, 62.5; tail, 49; 

 culmen, 12; tarsus, 28 mm. Five males of H. c. formaster measure: 

 Wing, 68.5-73 (71.3); tail, 49-57 (51.9); culmen, 13-14 (13.5); 

 tarsus, 31-33.5 (32 mm.). The type of H. c. laurentei measures: 

 Wing, 71; tail, 50; culmen, 14.5; tarsus, 33 mm. 



The female of H. sinensis measures: Wing, 62.5; tail, 49; culmen, ^ 

 12; tarsus, 26.5 mm. Four females of H. c. formaster measure; 

 Wing, 67-70 (68.8) ; tail, 44-47 (45) ; culmen, 12-13.5 (12.9) ; tarsus, 

 28.5-31 (29.9 mm.). 



Thayer and Bangs in the original description of H. c. fornmstery 

 cited above, give the measurements of the male as: Wing, 73; tail, 

 47; culmen, 14; tarsus, 34 mm.; and of the female as: Wing, 70; tail^ 

 45; culmen, 13; tarsus, 32.5 mm. 



148. MYOPHONLS EUGENEI Hume 



Myiophoncus cugcnei Hume, Stv;i.v Featbert^, vol. 1, i>. 475, 1873 (Pegu). 



Five males and one female, northwest Yunnan (Likiang Moun- 

 tains, October; forests of Gowa, 10,000 feet, May; Fuchuanshan, 

 10,000-12,000 feet, September; Ndamucho, 11,000 feet, October); 

 one male and three females, southwest Szechwan (Shouchu Valley, 

 near Dzeru, 11,300 feet, August; Mutirong, 7,000-7,800 feet, Muii, 

 April; Chiu-lung-hsien, halfway between Muli and Tatsienlu, May; 

 Tatsienlu, 9,500-10,000 feet. May). 



Lord Rothschild *^' now regards this as a species, as he says that in 

 certain areas tenwvinckii and eugenei occur together. In the quite 

 extensive series of the latter in the United States National Museum 

 from western China, there are no intermediates between it and tem- 

 'minchii. Myophonus c. eaer-ideus and its western form imman^suctus 

 are so distinct from eugenei and temminchii that hybrids between 

 them must be very rare, though Lord Rothschild says there ai"e 

 hybrids between femminckii and caeruleus. This must be excep- 

 tional, however, because I am not aware that the ranges of the two 

 latter meet at any point. Hybrids between eugenei and femminckii 

 are not so surprising, as their ranges must meet at a number of points.
