85. Lanius superciliosus Lath. 



Two adult males were shot at Kuatun on the 6th and 16th 

 May, 1898. 



86. Lanius tigrinus Drapiez.

87. Alseonax latirostris (Raffl.). 

 Shot at Kuatun in April and May 1897. 



88. Hemichelidon sibirica (Gm.). 



This Flycatcher is very abundant in May on the Kuatun 

 Mountains. Specimens were also shot there in September 

 and October 1896. 



89. MusciCAPA GRisEisTicTA (Swinh.). 

 One example from Kuatun. 



90. PoLlOMYIAS LUTEOLA (Pall.). 



Common about Kuatun in April and May. We shot one 

 on Mount David at an altitude of 5500 feet. It has also

The occurrence of this bird at Foochow in November 

 1885 must have been exceptional, as we have not since then 

 obtained or noticed it in that locality.

 Winters at Kuatun.

 abundant, but I obtained the following information from the 

 native hunters and our collectors. They know the bird by 

 the name of '^ Chi-o-hay," a name supposed to represent one
