lection of birds made by M. Bouvalot, Prince Henry of 

 Orleans, and Pere Dedekens during their recent adventurous 

 expedition througli Eastern Turkestan, Tibet, and Western 

 China to Saigon ^. 



The author commences by remarks on the genera Babax, 

 Trochalopteron, and Pornatorhinus, and describes, as new 

 species or subspecies, Babax bonvaloti from So, in Tibet ; 

 Trochalopteron henrici from the same locality; T. bonvaloti 

 from Tioungcu, Tibet ; Pornatorhinus dedekensi from the 

 same locality ; and P. armandi from Aio, Tibet. He also 

 describes Alcippe bieti and Acredula bonvaloti fromTjl-tsien- 

 lou ; Leptopoecile henrici from Tibet ; Zosterops mussoti from 

 Setchuan ; Uragus henrici, Avithout locality ; Eurhinospiza 

 (gen. nov. Fringillidarum) henrici from Tibet ; and Tetrao- 

 gallus henrici from Ta-tsien-lou. M. Oustalet then proceeds 

 to give a classified list of the principal species which were 

 obtained or observed in the vicinity of Ta-tsien-lou by Prince 

 Henry, or of which specimens were given to him by Mgr. 

 Biot from the same district. Some of these (which are indi- 

 cated by an asterisk) are not included in David and Oustalet's 

 well-known ' Oiseaux de la Chine.^ In the course of this 

 list the Cinclus jjullasi of Tk-tsien-lou is separated as a sub- 

 species souliei, and it is stated that Tetraophasis desgodinsi 

 (Oust., Le Naturaliste, 1886, p. 275) is the same as T. 

 szechenyi, Madarasz (Zeitsch. f. d. ges, Orn. ii. p. 50, pi. ii.) 

 and that the Pucrasia erroneously referred by M. Oustalet 

 to P. darwini (Le Naturaliste, 1886, p. 276) is identical 

 with P. meyeri, Madarasz (Ibis, 1886, p. 145). 



The following birds are figured in this memoir : — Acredula 

 bonvaloti, Alcippe {Proparus) bieti, LeptojxEcile henrici, 

 Uragus henrici, and Eurhinospiza henrici.
