622 Mr. J. D. D. La Touche— Field-Notes on 



52. Hemichelidon sibirica (Gm.). 

 Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 349. 



This species is not at all uncommon in May, and passes 

 again in October. I have a young bird, shot on October 6, 

 which still retains a number of spotted feathers of the 

 nestling plumage. 



53. Muscicapa griseisticta (Swinhoe) . 

 Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 349. 



Not particularly common, but found in woods and groves 

 on the hills in May. 



54. Muscicapa albicilla Pall. 

 Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 349. 



One example was shot on October 3. I never met with 

 another. 



55. POLIOMYIAS LUTEOLA (Pall.). 



Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 349. 

 Common enough on the hills in May and again in 

 October. 



56. Cyanoptila cyanomel^ena (Temm.). 

 Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 349. 



Appears to be rather uncommon about Chinkiang. A 

 male and a female shot on April 22 and May 9 and one or 

 two individuals seen on September 27 are all that I have 

 noticed. 



57. Xanthopygia narcissina (Temm.). 

 Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 349. 



Styan mentions an example shot at Chinkiang. I have 

 never seen the bird there. 



58. Xanthopygia tricolor Blyth. 

 Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 349. 



The Tricolor Flycatcher arrives at Chinkiang about 

 April 20, and is common during the summer. The natives 

 catch it with bird-lime. I have a specimen thus obtained 

 which has the eyebrow tinged with yellow. 



This Flycatcher breeds on the plains, nesting in holes of 

 trees on the banks of ponds or in their immediate vicinity.
