THAYER AND BANGS: AVES. 183 



sicauda (Swinhoe) of Amoy and southeastern China. These two are not very 

 different in color, the upper parts ranging, in summer plumage, from drab to 

 wood brown; and the same parts in the winter plumage are about ochraceous 

 .cinnamon. 



Measurements: Type adult cf, summer plumage, wing, 51; tail, 67; 

 tarsus, 21; culmen, 10.5. No. 52578, adult male from Kiating, western Sze- 

 chwan, in winter plumage, wing, 50.5; tail, 89; tarsus, 22; culmen, 10.5. 



Remarks: We can not find that this dark, well-marked form of P. inor- 

 nata has been named, although it seems probable that Dr. Anderson's Yunnan 

 specimens would be referable to it. The seasonal differences are the same as 

 in other members of the genus, but in both plumages it is easily distinguished 

 from any other of the subspecies by its much darker, deeper coloring.
