410. EMBERIZA PUSILLA.

432. PlCUS MANDARINUS. 



Lushan, 1st April. An intermediate example, the white 

 more developed than in typical South- Chinese birds, but not 

 so much so as in typical North-Chinese birds. 



441. GECINUS GUERINI. 



Five examples, making, with the skins in the Swinhoe col- 

 lection, a series of a dozen, lead me to the conclusion that 

 the Formosan bird cannot be separated. The variations in 

 general colour, and in the amount of black on the head and 

 white on the tail, are so great that it seems probable that a 

 series from a great range of localities would bridge over the 

 entire distance from G. canus of Siberia to G. occipitalis of 

 the Himalayas, between which all these Chinese forms are 

 intermediate.
