424 Uv. J. 1). D. La Touclic on the 



meu in April, May, September, and October. The different 

 changes of the male plumage are ^vell illustrated in a series 

 of adult and immature males collected in North-west Fohkien 

 and at Foocliow. 



95. Xanthopygia narcissina (Temm.). 

 Obtained near Kuatun in April and May. 



96. Xanthopygia tricolor Blyth. 



This is an uncommon migrant in Fohkien. Two or three 

 have of late years been shot at FoochoAv. We obtained a 

 beautiful male shot near Kuatun on the 25th April, ]898. 

 The hunter who shot it said that he saw six or seven that 

 day, but he had mistaken this species for the preceding one, 

 and let them go, thinking we had enough specimens. 



97. Cryptolopha tephrocephala (Anderson). 



Two male examples from Kuatun, shot on the 30th May, 

 1896, and 15th April, 1897, have been identified at the British 

 Museum as being of this species. The bill from the gape 

 measures 0-58 and 0-60 inch, and the wing 2-25 inches. 

 Another faded bird from the same locality appears to be of 

 the same species. I did not procure any on the last trip to 

 Kuatun. Mr. Ogilvie Grant, after examining my series of 

 Flycatcher- Warblers, informed me that none of them were 

 typical C. fephrocephala, so that perhaps this species will 

 have to be taken off our Fohkien list. 



98. Cryptolopha intermedia La Touclie. 



Thirteen examples vary in length of wing from 1'98 ( c? 

 type) to 2-43 inches. The bill, measured from the gape, 

 varies from 0-52 ( ^ type) to 0-58 inch. 



Tlie soft parts of two males shot at Kuatun on the 11th 

 April, 1898, are : — Upper mandible brownish; lower mandible 

 yellow; legs dark yellow. Total length 49 and S'l inches. 

 The stomach contained flies. Testes developing. 



The soft parts of a female, shot at Kuatun on the 31st 

 March, 1898, are : — Iris very dark brown ; upper mandible 

 brown ; lower mandible yellow ; legs greenish flesh. Total 

 length 4"4 inches. The stomach contained small beetles.
