A number of examples of tbis llose-Fincb bave been 

 obtained at Foocbow during tbe past few years. I bave 

 four collected there in March and one in Decemlier. 

 A number of others from tbe same locality, presented by 

 l^ickett, are in the British Museum collection. I bad 

 already in 1897 a cage-specimen, said to have been taken 

 near Foocbow.

Descriptivn. — Very near P. nipalensis Hodgson, but smaller 

 and darker. In tbe male the centres of the feathers of the 

 crown are very dark, giving a scaly appearance to that part. 

 The white streak under the eye in botli sexes is much smaller 

 and duller than in the Himalayan bird. 



Iris dark brown ; bill light greenish ])lambeous, tipped 

 and edged with black ; legs dark greyish pink. Wing of 

 the male 3-13, of the female 3-37 in. 



This Bullfinch, which Ilickett and I bad previously con- 

 founded with P. nipalensis Hodgson, inhabits tbe mountains 

 of north-western Fobkien.
