Several additional specimens of the Nuthatch from Aiizan, 

 &c., have now been examined, and appear to be indistin- 

 guishable from Chinese examples.

This lovely Fire-crested Wren was fairly common on 

 Arizan at 8000-9000 ft. iu February and jNIarch, and 

 ]Mr. Goodfellow procured about a dozen examples of both 

 sexes which do not differ in any way from the typical pair 

 obtained on Mount Morrison at 9000-10,000 ft. in January 

 1906. It Avas occasionally met with travelling through the 

 forest in company with flocks of Parus ater ptilosus and other 

 species of small forest birds.

This very interesting crested form of the Coal-Titmouse 

 has been described as follows : — 



Adult male and female. Near Parus ater insularis Ilell- 

 mayr, but distinguished by having the median black feathers 

 of the occiput considerably lengthened (about 19 mm.), ex- 

 tending conspicuously beyond the other feathers and forming 

 a marked crest. Iris brown; bill black; feet slate-colour. 



Male. Wing 61 mm. ; tail 43 ; tarsus 17. 



Female. „ 57 ,, ; ^,40; „ 16. 



Mr. Goodfellow lias kindly supplied me with the following 

 notes regarding this crested Coal-Titmouse : — 



"This species was not uncommon at 8000 ft., and was 

 usually observed in company with other small birds. After 

 hours had passed without the song of a bird being heard, a 

 large mixed flock of small birds would suddenly appear, 

 temporarily animating the gloomy forests with their presence.
