12,000-13,000 feet, November-December; Ndamucho, 14,000 feet, Oc- 

 tober) ; one male, southwest Szechwan (Noon forests, east of Muli, 

 10,500 feet, August). 



The single specimen from Ndamucho, Yunnan, though marked as 

 a male is probably a female, as the bill is quite small, measuring 

 14 mm.

210. ENICURUS LESCHENAULTI SINENSIS Gould 



Enicurus sinensis Govu), Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1865, p. 665 (Shanghai). 



Two males and one female from northwest Yunnan (Likiang 

 Mountains, 10,000 feet, January-February, and forests of Gowa, 

 10,000 feet. May) ; one male and one female, southwest Szechwan 

 (Noon forests, east of Muli, 10,500 feet, August; and Vudju, 10,000 

 feet, south of Muli and Mount Gibboh, April). 



Family LANIIDAE, Shrikes 



220, LANIUS SPHENOCERCUS GIGANTEUS Przewalski 



Lanius gigantcus Pezewalski, Zapiski Imp. Akad. Nauk St. Petersburg, vol. 55, 

 p. 86, 1887 (Gelben River). 



Two females, southwest Szechwan (Muli, 10,000 feet, December, 

 and Bonti, 14,300 feet, July). 



The above two females are larger and darker above than L. s. 

 sphenocercus, and the chest and breast are a pale vinaceous-fawn. 

 A few specimens of L. s. sphenocercus sometimes have a faint tinge 

 of the latter color below, but as a rule they are more or less pure 

 white on the chest and breast. The two Szechwan females measure '. 

 Wing, 137.5 and 139 mm. 



The specimen taken in July is probably a breeding bird and com- 

 prises considerable extension of the range to the southward. It is 

 probably a local breeding bird at high elevations in western China 

 from western Kansu to southwest Szechwan and probably northwest 

 Yunnan.

Collurio tephronotus Vigors, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1831, p. 43 (Himalaya).
