164 SOME CHINESE VERTEBRATES. 



This very distinct species, is quite different from C. bella (A. Hay) of Japan 

 and Corea; where found it was not an uncommon breeding bird, though proba- 

 bly very local in its distribution. 



TARSIGER CHRYSAEUS Hodgson. 



Five specimens, adults of both sexes and young, Washan, Yachiakun, 

 Tachiao, and Lianghokow, western Szechwan at altitudes, ranging from 

 10,000 to 12,000 feet, June, July, and September. 



TCHITREA INCEI (Gould). 



Twenty-two specimens, adults and young of both sexes, Ichang, Ichang- 

 hsien, Hsienshan, and Suichanping, Hupeh, and Omeihsien, Szechwan, May to 

 October. 



Of the old males with very long tails two are pied, maroon and white; the 

 plumage of about half of the others is in the white phase, the remainder in the 

 maroon phase. 



CULICICAPA CEYLONENSIS (Swainson): 



Five specimens, four adults of both sexes and one nestling, Tanshuiya, 

 Hupeh, and Chungchowhsien, Luluping, and Minchihsien, Szechwan, April, 

 May, and June. 



CRYPTALOPHA BURKII VALENTINI Hartert. 



Eight specimens, adults of both sexes, Hsientientze, Mafuling, Chetzekow, 

 Hsienshan, and Hsienyuehtze, Hupeh, May, and June. 



The color characters attributed this form by its describer do not hold in 

 our series some breeding males having the head-stripes pure gray, while 

 with others there is considerable olive-green mixed with the gray. The wing, 

 however, is much shorter than in C. burkii iephrocephala of the west in six 

 adult males varying from 55 to 57 mm. in length. 



CRYPTO LOPHA BURKII TEPHROCEPHALA (Anderson). 



One adult male, Ramala Pass, western Szechwan, 12,000 feet, August 26. 

 This specimen has the wing 62 mm. in length. 



CRYPTOLOPHA SINENSIS Rickett. 

 One adult male, Hsientientze, Hupeh, June 3, 1907.
