THAYER AND BANGS: AVES. 187 



CERTHIA HIMALAYANA YUNNANENSIS Sharpe. 



Three adults, two females and a male Ramala Pass and Nachuka, western 

 Szechwan, 12,000 to 13,000 feet altitude, August. 



TICHODROMA MURARIA (Linne"). 



Four adults, both sexes, Ichang, Hupeh, and Kiating, Washan, and Kungya- 

 hsien, western Szechwan, winter. 



ZOSTEROPIDAE. 



ZOSTEROPS SIMPLEX Swinhoe. 



Four adults, both sexes, taken in spring, and summer at Hsienshan, and 

 Kwatzeling, Hupeh. 



These specimens, while probably referable to Z. simplex rather than to Z. 

 mussoti Oustalet of Szechwan, which was not observed by Mr. Zappey, show 

 some signs of being intermediate; they have smaller bills, and the black line 

 from the side of the bill to and below the eye is more distinct than in Z. simplex; 

 but the yellow of the throat does not extend far backward, and the color 

 agrees with that of Z. simplex. 



DICAEIDAE. 



DlCAETJM IGNIPECTUS CYANONOTUM Styan. 



Two adult males, one from Hsienshan, Hupeh, June 7, 1907, the other 

 Wahsien, western Szechwan, April 2, 1908. 



This well-marked form appears to be rare, and the two specimens taken were 

 the only ones seen. 



NECTARINIIDAE. 



AETHOPYGA DABRYI (Verreaux). 



Twenty-one specimens, adults of both sexes, Hsientientze, Mafuling, 

 Wantaoshan, Patung, Hongsurkow, Hupeh, and Washan, western Szechwan, 

 all taken in May, and June, at altitudes up to 10,000 feet.
