218 Mr. C. B. Rickett on Birds 



coast^ but it is not abundant." I have found it far from 

 uncommon in September^ October^ and May. 



6. PoMAToRHiNus swiNHOEi, A. Dav. (La Touche, Ibis, 

 1892, p. 414.) 



I procured a specimen of this species up the Yuen Fu on 

 18th May this year. It was shot on a hill-side covered with 

 scrub and small bamboos, with a few scattered young firs. 

 The stomach contained ants and small beetles. The ovaries 

 not at all developed. 



I now proceed to remarks on species additional to Mr. de 

 La Touchers list. 



-^ SuYA suPERCiLiARis (Auders.). 



Two obtained in May up the Yuen Fu. 

 [Hitherto recorded only from Yunnan and the hills of 

 Burmah and Tenasserim. This example from Foochow does 

 not agree in one respect with Davison^'s description (Str. F. 

 1878, p. 1), viz. '^ upper mandible black.^' In the (dried) 

 example Mr. Rickett sends me the upper mandible is brown, 

 with dark ridge and tip. — H. H. S.] 



-^ LOCUSTELLA LANCEOLATA (Temm.). 



One specimen dated October. 



Graucalus macii, Less. 



Obtained in January and March. 



[The specimen that Mr. Rickett has sent me is G. rex- 

 pineti, with throat and upper breast deep grey, almost 

 black, — instead of light French grey — and culmen 0*91, 

 vice 1 inch. It has, however, no trace of buff on the 

 under wing-coverts and axillaries, which Dr. Sharpe (B. M. 

 Cat. iv. p. 24) relies upon as a distinguishing feature, but 

 which may probably prove a sign of immaturity. — H. H. S.] 



^~- Campophaga melanoptera (Eiipp.). 

 Dated May, June, and August. 



Hemixus canipennis (Seebohm). 

 Dated January and March,
