 mantle and upper back ; the lower back, rump, and upper 

 tail-coverts only being washed with chestnut ; the lower

Mr. Grant also described the following new species from 

 Southern China, collected by Capt. A. M. S. Wingate : — 



1. SlTTA YUXNAXENSIS, Sp. \\. 



Adult male. Most nearly allied to S. motitluiu, La Touche, 

 from which it is at once distinguished by its much more 

 slender bill and the entire absence of chestnut from the 

 sides, flanks, and under tail-coverts, which are uniform 

 greyish buff, like the rest of the underparts. Iris brown. 



Total length in the flesh 4"5 inches, culmen 0'65, wing 2*8, 

 tail 1"5, tarsus 0'65. 



Hab. Near Wei-yuan, Southern Yunnan, 12th March, 

 1899. 



2. Phylloscopus subaffinis, sp. n. 



Adult male and female. Differ from P. affinis, Tickell, in 

 having the terminal half of the lower mandible, as well as 

 the legs and feet, very dark horn-brown ; the underparts 

 strongly washed with dull fulvous; the clear yellow of the 

 underparts, so conspicuous in P. affinis, being merely in- 

 dicated on the middle of the breast and belly. The species 

 resembles P. affinis in the shape of the wing, the second 

 primary being about equal to the tenth. Iris black. 



Total length in the flesh 4"5 inches, culmen 0'5, wing 

 1-95-205, tail I'S, tarsus 0-75.
