170 SOME CHINESE VERTEBRATES. 



Characters: Similar to T. castaneocoronata (Burton) (Plate 6, fig. 3, bill) 

 of the eastern Himalayas, but with a very much smaller bill (Plate 6, fig. 2) 

 which is of a yellowish color throughout ; (the two specimens of T. castaneocoro- 

 nata examined have the maxilla dark brown); crown orange-rufous instead of 

 hazel or chestnut; underparts slightly paler yellow, with a narrow band of olive- 

 green spots across chest; eye-ring, showing most distinctly just before and just 

 behind eye, bright yellow. 



Measurements: Type, adult 9, wing, 50.5; tail, 24; tarsus, 23; cul- 

 men, 8.5. 



Remarks: This Tesia also kept itself closely concealed in the thickets of 

 rhododendron on Washan and the type was the only individual seen during the 

 all too short stay on this exceedingly interesting mountain. 



YUHINA GULARIS YANGPIENSIS Sharpe. 



Two adults, male and female, taken together, on Washan, western Szech- 

 wan, at 8,000 feet altitude, October 27, 1908. 



These skins agree exactly with Sharpe's description, and are very different 

 from examples of true Y. gularis from the eastern Himalayas. We have how- 

 ever seen no specimens from Yunnan. 



YUHINA DIADEMATA Verreaux. 



Nine adults, both sexes, Hsienshanhsien, Changyanghsien, and Putze, 

 Hupeh, and Nitow, and Washan, western Szechwan, all seasons. 



LlOTHRIX LUTEUS LUTEUS (Scopoli). 



Twenty-four specimens, adults of both sexes, Hsienshanhsien, Hsienshan, 

 Patung, and Changyanghsien, Hupeh, and Yachow, Lungchi, and Luluping, 

 Szechwan, all seasons. 



CONOSTOMA AEMODIUM Hodgson. 



Three adult males, Washan, western Szechwan, taken at altitudes of from 

 8,000 to 10,000 feet, May and October.
