Family FRINGILLIDAE. Sparrows 



204. EOPHONA MIGRATORIA MIGRATORIA Hartcrt 



Eophona melanura mifjratoria Haktert, Vogel paliiark. Fauna, vol. 1, 

 Heft 1, 1903. p. 59 (Sidimi). 



An immature male (acquiring the first winter plumage, marked 

 female), Likiang Mountains, 9,500 feet, September. 



205. MYCEROBAS MELANOXANTHUS (Hodgson) 



Coccotliraustes melanoxanthiis Hodgson, Asiat. Res., vol. 9, 1836, p. 150 

 (Himalayas). 



One adult male, four immature males, and one female, Likiang 

 Mountains, 11,000-14,000 feet, July; one female, Lameko Mountain, 

 north of Lashipa, July. 



The onl}' specimens available for comparison are an adult male 

 from India without definite locality and a female from Darjiling, 

 The adult male is old and somewhat faded. It has a larger bill, a 

 larger wliite wing speculum, the white markings on the secondaries 

 and secondary coverts more extensive, the back a browner black, 

 and the breast a lighter yellow than the Yunnan male, the last 

 two characters probably due to the age of the specimen. The 

 Indian female has also a larger bill, is browner on the back, and 

 lighter below than the Yunnan female; the white markings on the 

 wing are no greater, however. It is probable the Chinese bird 

 represents a distinct form, but more material is needed before 

 deciding this point.
