Birds of Poochovj and Swatow. 421 



- 70. Hypsipetes leucocephalus (Gm.). [209.] 

 Foochow. Styan, Ibis, 1887, p. 223. 

 Shot near Swatovr in March. 



71. Pycxoxotus sinensis (Gm.). [217.] 

 Foochow. Styan, Ibis, 1887, p. 223. 

 Abundant and resident at Foochow and Swatow. 



-^ 72. Pycxoxotcs atricapillus (VieilL). [220.] 

 Fairly common on the hills near Swatow. 



~ 73. Pycxoxotus jocosus (Linn.j. [221.] 



Occurs on the hills west of Swatow and on those beyond 

 Chao-chow-fu. It appeared to me to be less common than 

 P. atricapillus, and while I have seen flocks of that species 

 on more or less bare hill-sides, P. jocosus, on the contrary, 

 frequented the wooded hills. 



i 74. Hemixus caxipexxis, Seebohm (P. Z. S. 1891, p. 342). 



Hemixus ca^tanonotus, Styan, Ibis, 1887, p. 224. 



I first came across this new species in the Peling country 

 in February 1885, but, though I often looked out for it after- 

 wards in the same locality, I never met with it again there. 

 Two doubtful-looking Bulbuls that I saw on one occasion near 

 Foochow seemed to be of the same species, but they escaped 

 without allowing a near approach. In February 1887 five 

 examples were obtained by a party of natives who had gone 

 up river to shoot for me. A single flock only was noticed 

 by the collector. It would thus seem to be a rare bird in 

 the Foochow district. 



This Bulbul is much more abundant on the hiUs west and 

 north-west of Swatow, where my shooting-boy and I procured 

 six more examples, and we could have shot as many as we 

 liked. 



The specimen described by Mr. Seebohm was one of those 

 obtained in February 1887 : it was given by me to Mr. Baun. 



Like most of its Chinese cousins, this Bulbul is a hill- 

 species. I have generally found it in the neighbourhood of 

 villages, flying among the large trees and bamboo plantations. 

 It goes about in flocks, and is a very noisy bird. The song is
