188 SOME CHINESE VERTEBRATES. 



MOTACILLIDAE. 



MOTACILLA ALBA occuLARis (Swinhoe). 



Eight specimens, both sexes, Ichang, Hupeh, and Kiating, Szechwan, all 

 taken in September, October, and November. 



MOTACILLA ALBA LEUCOPSIS (Gould). 



Twenty specimens, adults and young in first winter plumage, of both sexes, 

 Ichang, Hupeh, January, March, September, and October. 



Motacilla alba baikalensis (Swinhoe) should occur in this general region 

 in winter, but Mr. Zappey did not take it. All adult birds in our series are 

 certainly referable to M. alba leucopsis, and most of the young ones have the 

 gray of the back more or less marked with black, and we consider all one and the 

 same form. 



MOTACILLA ALBA HODGSONI (Blyth). 



Eight specimens, adults of both sexes, and two young in nestling plumage, 

 Washan, Hochianghsien, Wanhsien, Chiangchinghsien, and Tachienlu, western 

 Szechwan, April, May, July, and October. 



The two nestlings nearly full-grown were shot at Tachienlu, 9,000 feet 

 altitude, July 23, 1908. 



MOTACILLA BOARTJLA MELANOPE (Pallas). 



Nineteen specimens, adults and young in winter plumage of both sexes, 

 Ichang, Kweichowhsien, Hongchikow, Kwangpow, Shuiyuehtze, and Chiliping, 

 Hupeh, and Kiating, Tachienlu, Washan, and Tsaikow, Szechwan, all seasons. 



A nest and clutch of eggs was taken, together with the male parent bird, 

 at Washan, western Szechwan, 6,000 feet altitude, June 6, 1908. 



BUDYTES CITREOLA (Pallas). 



One fine male in full spring plumage, Chiangaohsien, Szechwan, April 28,
