crown ; and the fifth has the occiput ahnost entirely black, 

 and a spotted crown. In all of them the under tail-coverts 

 are white faintly edged with yellow. 



YuHiNA DiADEMATA, Verr. (Nouv. Arch, du Mus. v. Bull, 

 p. 35 (1869)). 



Two from Ichang. 



' Leiothrix luteus (Scop.). (Sharpe, Cat. B. vii. p. 644.) 

 Several from Ichang. This bird extends eastward to the 

 coast iu South China, but is not found on the Lower 

 Yangtse. 



Hypsipetes leucocephalus (Gm.). (Sharpe, Cat. B. vi. 

 p. 41.) 



Several from Ichang. The same remark applies to the 

 range of this species, and I am surprised at not having met 

 with it in the Luslian Hills and other wooded ranges on the 

 lower river. 



'^ Pericrocotus brevirostris (Vig.). (Sharpe, Cat. B. iv. 

 P-7'9.) 



Very young birds in barred plumage, evidently bred at 

 Ichang.

C. tephrocephala, Anders. (Dav. & Oust.) 



One from Sechuen.

 Three from Ichang. 



Terpsiphone inch (Gould). (Sharpe, Cat. B. iv. p. 351.) 

 A brown male shot at Ichang in June has one of the two 

 central tail-feathers white, as in the fully adult. The bird, 

 however, is not moulting, and the white feather is old and 

 worn. It seems, therefore, that at its last moult the bird 

 assumed this single feather only of its complete dress. 



-|- tEthopyga dabryi (Verr.). (Gadow, Cat. B. ix. p. 28.) 

 Several from Ichang.
