p. 219) has no black on the lores; and Z. siamensis, nobis, the 

 Tenasserim form, has black lores. Mr. Wallace has speci- 

 mens of the three races. The corresponding races of Sumatra, 

 the Philippines, and perhaps other islands require comparison. 



637. LOPHOPHANES DICHROUS. 



Of the numerous Himalayan Tits, this one approximates most 

 nearly to the European L. cristatus and its American analogue 

 L. wollweberi (Baird, B. Am. pi. 53). 



640. LoPHOPHANES RUFONUCHALIS. 



What is the Titmouse from one of the lesser ranges near the 

 valley of Kashmir, approximated to this by Dr. Adams (P. Z. S. 

 1859, p. 176)? "Crested; total length 5 in. Iris brick-red; 

 bill bluish-black; forehead and between ear-coverts a dirty 

 white; all upper parts, wings, and tail leaden-ash; breast, belly, 

 and vent ochrey-white ; tail moderate, slightly forked ; legs and 

 claws leaden-blue." 



642. Parus ^modius proves to be a true crested Lophophanes ; 

 there is a skin in the British Museum*. 



645. Parus cinereus. 



This species is remarkable for its wide range of distribution, 

 extending even to Lombok and Flores, according to Mr. 

 Wallace. In China, Mr, Swinhoe remarks that it blends with 

 P. minor (P. Z. S. 1863, p. 270). 



Melaniparus semilarvatus, Salvadori, is a lately described 

 species "from the Himalaya" (c/. Ibis, 1866, p. 415). 



654. Accentor strophiatus. 



Mr. Hodgson figures a greenish-blue egg. 



658. CoRVUs TiBETANUs is distiuct from C. corax. Speci- 

 men in British Museum. 



660. CoRVUs CULMINATUS, Sykes ; C. levaillanti, Lesson,

* Parus elegans, Lesson, from, the Philippines, will fall under 3IacMo- 

 lophus (cf. Pucheran, Rev. Zool. 1854, p. G8). It is doubtless identical 

 with P. qiiadrivittatus, Lafresnaye (Rev. Zool. 1840, p. 129). 



+ This species certainly inhabits the Andaman Islands, although C. 

 andamensis, Tytler, may be distinct (Ibis, 1866, p. 428). I sent an Anda- 

 man specimen to Mr. Swinhoe, who has noticed it in P. Z. S. 1863, p. 305.
