 1870, p. 438. 



Pekin. Allied to 8. canadensis, L., of North America. 



94. SITTA AMURENSIS, n. sp. 



The Nuthatch from Amoorland, instead of being white-bellied like 

 that from Trans-Baikal and Northern Japan, is rufous underneath, 

 approaching in that respect S. ccesia of England and Western 

 Europe. It differs from that species, however, in its shorter bill and 

 tarse, and more slender legs and toes. It has a distinct white 

 eyebrow, its under neck and breast are pure white, and its belly and 

 flanks buff ; its under tail-coverts deep cinnamon, spotted with white. 

 It otherwise agrees with S. ctesia, and is of about the same size. It 

 ranges down to Pekin in winter. 



95. SITTA SINENSIS, J. Verr. MS. ; Ibis, 1865, p. 107. 



I observed a small Nuthatch near Ningpo, but did not succeed in 

 securing it. Pere David sent to Paris a single specimen of the same 

 from Kinkiang, which will be described by M. J. Verreaux in due 

 course. A larger form of the same type has been sent by Pere 

 David from the Moupin Mountains. 



96. CERTHIA FAMILIARIS, L. ; P. Z. S. 1863, p. 270. 

 Certhia fasciata, David, Cat. des ois. a Pekin. 



A rare visitant to Pekin in winter (David). I have a specimen 

 from Pekin from Pere David, and another from Amoorland from 

 V. Schrenck, which do not appear separable from the home species. 



97. CERTHIA HIMALAYANA, Vig. 



Received at the Paris Museum through Pere David from the 

 Moupin Mountains (N.W. Szechuen). 



98. TICHODROMA MURARIA, L. ; P. Z. S. 1863, p. 270.
