600 Messrs. C. B. llickett and J. D. de La Touclic on 



might be seen sidling up a stem, twisting its body about and 

 jerking its tail from side to side in a very Tit-like manner. 



They keep up a eoustant chatter, which becomes loud and 

 angry in tone if they are startled or disturbed in any way. 



Paradoxohnis gularis, Gray. 



Styan came across a flock of this species in a dense tangle 

 of " sword-grass " and young bamboos, but only succeeded 

 in shooting one specimen, although the birds were all round 

 him. 



' LlOTHRIX LUTEUS (ScOp.) . [310.] 



While beating a thin strip of jungle bordering one of 

 the large woods in the neighbourhood of Ching Feng Ling, 

 an example of L. lutevs was secured, together with some 

 specimens of Stachyridopsis ruficeps, Jlcippe brimnea, and 

 Trochaloptcron c'mereiceps. There was a large gathering of 

 these birds in the cover, while just inside the wood a noisy 

 flock of Garrulax picticoUis and Dendrocltta sinensis were 

 busy feeding under the big trees. 



f Allotrius pallidus, David & Oustal. [317.] 



[Messrs. Rickett and de La Touche forward a bird from 

 Kuatun which is correctly identified nnder the above name. 

 Although this species has been doubtfully referred to the 

 synonymy of A. xanthochloris, llodgs., it is undoubtedly 

 perfectly distinct from that species. The grey of the head 

 continued on to the interscapular region and the white ring 

 surrounding the eye render it easily recognizable from the 

 Himalayan bird.— W. R. 0. G.] 



IIerpornis tyrannulus, Swinhoe. [318.] 

 Two specimens identical with the one from Kuatun, 

 recorded in 'The Ibis/ 1890, p. 490, were shot in a wood. 

 They were travelling with a small })arty consisting of Crypio- 

 lopha fulvifacies and PJnjIloscopns j)7-oregulus , and were 

 brought doM n from the top branches of a tree which they 

 were diligently exploring with their companions. 



Alcippe hueti, David. 



This interesting little bird occurs in more or less large
