1865. ] DR. G. HARTLAUB ON A NEW FRANCOLIN. 665 
The £. guttatus may be regarded as the Eastern representative of 
the ZL. maculatus of the great Himalayan range. 
ENICURUS SINENSIS, Gould. 
Forehead to the middle of the crown, lower part of the back, rump, 
upper tail-coverts, tips of the greater wing-coverts, bases of the 
secondaries, two outer tail-feathers, the tips of all the others, the 
under coverts of the shoulder, the abdomen, and under tail-coverts 
pure white ; primaries blackish brown; the remainder of the plumage 
deep black ; bill black ; feet fleshy-white. 
Total length 11 inches, bill 1, wing 41, tail 64, tarsi 14. 
Hab. China. 
Remark. By some ornithologists this species may perhaps be 
considered too similar to the L. leschenaulti of Java to admit of 
its being recognized as distinct from that bird; and, while I admit 
that there are grounds for such a supposition, I may state that only 
half the crown is white in the China bird, while the entire crown is 
white in the Javan species.

' Hab. Unyamuezi (Speke). 
This new species, the unique specimen of which is now in the 
Bremen Museum, was collected by the much lamented traveller Capt. 
J. H. Speke in Unyamuezi. It comes very near to F. pileatus of 
Smith, but is much smaller and is besides differently coloured. In F, 
pileatus the dark brown-red spots of the neck are much more widely 
distributed, the whole upper part of the breast being covered by 
them ; in F. grantii they only form a broad collar. The transverse 
black irregular markings of the dorsal feathers, so conspicuously 
visible in F. grantiz, are entirely wanting in F. pileatus.
