EOPHONA MELANURA MIGRATORIA Hartert. 



Three specimens, a male and two females all taken together at Ichang, 

 April 30, 1907, are so small, and with such very small bills that they unquestion- 

 ably belong to this northern form; they were probably migrating.

One pair, the only individuals of this species seen by Mr. Zappey were taken 

 May 15, 1907, at Hongsurkow, Hupeh, at 6,000 feet altitude.

Thirty-one specimens, both sexes, Ichang, Hsienshan, Changyanghsien,
