 The difference between tins bird, which appears in our 

 FohTvien notes as Parus pekinensis, and the Chinwangtao 

 Coal-Tit {Parus hisularis) is very marked. I have no 

 examples of Parus 2)ekmensis from the vicinity of Peking, 

 but judging from Vhve David's description and the figure 

 of Parus jjekiuensls in the ' Oiseaux de la Chine/ it has been 

 rightly identified as that species. 



[The Chinwangtao bird is P. a. insularis Hellmayr. —

In 'The Ibis ' for 1899, p. 187, I drew attention to the 

 pale underparts of the Fohkien bird, but, although Rickett 

 and I had recognized the difference, we finally decided to label 

 our Fohkien birds as A. brunnea, and all our Fohkien skins
