608 Messrs. C, B. Rickett and J. D. de La Touche on 



underparts, especially the chin, throaty and middle of the 

 breast, very much paler, the latter, in fact, being mostly 

 pure white ; the feathers round the bend of the wing and 

 the under wing- and tail-coverts pale buff. Total length 5-4 

 inches,, culmen 0-58, wing 2-6^ tail 1"9, tarsus 1'15. 

 Specimens were obtained at Kuatun, N.W. Fohkien. 



Erithacus akahige (Temm.). [334.] 



Styan had a close view of one in thick jungle, but he was 

 unable to secure it, as the bird was too near to be shot 

 without being blown into atoms. 



So far as we know, this is only the third time that this 

 Robin has been noted in China ; Pere David mentions one 

 shot at Peking, and one at Kuatun in N.W. Fohkien. 



Cryptolopha fulvifacies, Swinhoe. [394.] 

 We often met flocks of these pretty birds. They frequent 

 woods and jungle indifferently, and, like many other small 

 gregarious birds during the cold season, they seem to be in 

 a perpetual hurry, passing rapidly along the tree-tops in the 

 woods or slipping quickly through jungle, keeping up a 

 constant murmur of anxious calls. Large flocks of Acredula 

 concinna and small parties of PhyUoscopus proregidus were 

 on several occasions seen in their company.

One shot at Ching Feng Ling. $ . Wing 2*3 inches. 



Three specimens from Kuatun in October. Wing 2*3, 

 2-3, 2-2. 



[The second primary varies somewhat in length, but is 

 always shorter than the seventh. Two examples obtained 

 by Mr. Pratt at Ichang, May 1888, are referable to the 

 present species. — W. B. O. G.] 



Cettia, sp. 



[Messrs. Rickett and de La Touche forward a small Warbler 

 obtained in Kuatun in October. This specimen is closely 

 allied to C. bi'unnescens, but will probably prove distinct.
