A fine series of this Rose-Finch was procured on Mount 

 Arizan betAvcen January and jMarch^ including adult males 

 and females and immature males. 



The British ]\Iuseum lias also received examples of this 

 Finch obtained on Arizan in the mouth of August and 

 presented by Mr. A. E. Wileman. I quite agree with 

 IHIr. Rothschild tiiat the male most nearly resembles that of 

 C. v'maceus from Western Ciiina, but is easily distinguished 

 bv its larger size, Aving 81 mm. as compared with 73 mm. ; 

 the darker purplish-lake coloured abdomen ; and tlie whiter 

 and less rosy superciliary streaks.

Mr. Good fellow obtained two males of this interesting 

 species of B.iUlinch on Arizan at 7000 and 8000 ft. in 

 February and March. Two females killed on Arizan, 7200 ft,, 

 on the Ijth xVugust, 1908, had previously been presented to 

 the National Collection by Mr, A. E. Wileman. The sexes 

 are alike in plumage with the exception of the outer margin 

 of the short innermost secondary, which is dull crimson in 

 the male and cream-colour in the female. In adtlition to this 

 spci'ies INlr. Goodfellow was fortunate enough to discover 

 a second species allied to P. erithacus, which is described 

 below. 



Pyrrhula arizaxica, sp. n. 



Adult? male. Most nearly allied to P. erithacus Blyth, 

 from Sikkim,of which it is no doubt the representative form 

 in Formosa. The specimen is probably not fully adult, only 

 the sides of the breast being partially reddish-orange. It
