Feathers round eye very light greenish grey. Lores, 

 cheeks, and ear- coverts grey, these last tinged with green. 

 Upper parts yellowish green, lighter on rump and upper tail- 

 coverts. Crest-feathers dark-centred. Wing-coverts same 

 as back ; the lesser somewhat darker. Quills blackish brown,

 with the whole of the inner webs yellow-edged. Under 

 wing-coverts yellowish white. Axillaries very pale grey, 

 tinged with yellow. Tail yellowish green, brighter than the 

 back, all but the two central feathers edged internally with 

 greenish yellow. Underparts pale ashy grey, paler on the

[This description agrees perfectly with typical H. tyran- 

 nulus, Swinh., but, as pointed out by Dr. Sharpe, Cat. B. 

 Brit. Mus. vii. p. 637, that is merely a slightly smaller race of 

 H. xantholeuca, and it seems to me very doubtful whether 

 it is worthy of even subspecific rank. — W. R. O. G.] 



"^ Henicurus guttatus, Gould. 



This species is, we think, new to the China list. 



[Dr. Sharpe mentions "Southern China '^ in giving the 

 habitat of this species, but apparently there is no authority 

 for this statement. — W. R. O. G.] 



! Phylloscopus reguloides (Ely til). 



Rickett shot a specimen of this bird here in October, and 

 our men brought back a November specimen from Hsia Yang. 

 We describe them as follows: — S, wing 2"25 inches; ?, 

 wing 2'15. Second primary about equal to ninth; third, 

 fourth, and fifth nearly equal. Back and scapulars bright 

 olive-green ; rump and upper tail-coverts brighter. Top of 

 head olive-green, with a broad pale median streak. Nape 

 of a much darker colour, contrasting strongly with the head 

 and back. Supercilium yellow and extending to the nape. 

 A dark stripe through the lores and eyes. Cheeks and 

 car-coverts greenish yellow, brighter just under the eye-
