tains, 9,000-10,000 feet, June and September; Likiang Plain, 8,200 

 feet, August ; Tseh Chung Mountains, Mekong Valley, November. 



Two males in the National Museum from Fukien are much lighter 

 in color and the wings browner than any in a large series from west- 

 ern China. They agree fairly well with a specimen from Formosa,, 

 but are even lighter. They belong either to R. f. afjinis of Formosa 

 or the form recently described by Stresemann ^° as Chimarrornis= 

 fuliginosa ienuirostns. 



An immature female, taken May 30, is similar to the adult, but is 

 more bulFy below, the back darker with still darker margins to the 

 feathers and occasional narrow buffy shaft streaks, the wing coverts- 

 with larger and deeper buff spots, and the tail with much more 

 white.

A good series of adults: Likiang Mountains, 13,000-15,000 feet,, 

 June-July. 



The only Indian specimens available for comparison are too old 

 and faded to be of any value for this purpose, but Stuart Baker 

 (Fauna Brit. India, Birds, ed. 2, vol, 2, 1924, p. 21) assigns Yunnan 

 birds to this race.

 Yunnan, China). 



Five adult males, one immature male, and one adult female^ 

 Likiang Mountains, 9,500-10,000 feet, May, July, and September. 



Of the female I have been unable to find any description, though 

 this sex has been sent to Tring and reported upon by Rothschild. ^"^ 

 The specimen that I take to be the adult female is marked as a male. 

 It is slightly smaller than the male and quite different in general 

 appearance, but the pattern of the tail is the same and the whitish
