1871.] MR. It. SWINHOE ON THE BIRDS OF CHINA. 3 til 



1/3. Accentor montanellus (Pall.). 

 Accentor temminckii, Brandt. 



Comes to Pekin with the great cold (David). Sent in summer 

 plumage from the Trans-Baikal. 



174. Accentor rubidus, Temm. & Schleg. F. J. t. 32. 



Pere David saw the head of a bird procured at Pekin, which he 

 identified with that of A. nodularis, L. 



175. Partjs minor, Temm. & Schleg. F. J. t. 33 ; Swinh. Zool. 

 1858, p. 6229; Ibis, I860, p. 55 et p. 131, 1861, p. 332, 1862, 

 p. 257; P. Z. S. 1870, p. 437. 



Amoy to Pekin, and westwards to Szechuen. 



176. Parus cesius, Tickell. 

 Parus cinereus, Ibis, 1870, p. 348. 



Hainan. Our specimens agree with those from India. The Java 

 bird, P. cinereus, Vieill. (P. atriceps, Horsf.), can be readily distin- 

 guished by the black of the head extending beyond the white nuchal 

 spot, and separating it from the grey of the back. 



177. Parus commixtus, Swinh. Ibis, 1868, p. 63. 

 Parus minor, Ibis, 1861, p. 34 ; P. Z.S. 1863, p. 270. 



Like P. ccesius, but with some of the green tint on the back that 

 marks P. minor, in fact intermediate to the two species. Canton 

 to Foochow. 



178. Parus monticola, Vig. ; Could, C. B. pi. 29. 

 Sent by Pere David from Moupin to the Paris Museum. 



179. Parus insperatus, Swinh. Ibis, 1866, p. 308. 



• South Formosa. A smaller race than the last, with the white on 

 the tips of the tertiary quills confined to their tips, and not extend- 

 ing to their margins ; barely separable. 



180. Parus venustulus, Swinhoe, P. Z. S. 1870, p. 133. 

 Ichang Gorge, on the Upper Yangtsze. 



181. Parus castaneiventris, Gould, P. Z. S. 1862, p. 280; 

 B. of As. pi. ; Ibis, 1863, p. 295. 



North Formosa. 



182. Parus pekinemsis, David; Ibis, 1870, p. 155. 



Pekin. Very like Parus ater, L., but with a few of the black 

 coronal feathers lengthened and showing conspicuously over the white 

 nuchal spot.
