One male, Likiang Mountains, Yunnan, September, and three 

 males and one female from southwest Szechwan (Mount Gibboh, 

 13,000 feet, Muli, May; Mount Mitzuga, 13,000 feet, Muli, June; 

 Mutirong, 7,000-7,800 feet, Muli, April).

 one male, Mount Konka, 14,500 feet, June; and one unsexed, Yan- 

 wekong Valley, 10,000-12,000 feet. May, southwest Szechwan. 



I can not distinguish between breeding specimens taken in the 

 Likiang Mountains, Yunnan, and at Sungpan, Szechwan. It may be 

 that all Chinese records of this species should belong to Reguloides 

 pulcher vegetus Bangs,'^ but for the present I am following Stuart 

 Baker,^° as no specimens from Nepal have been examined by me.
