slightly darker on the upper parts the striping below is very different, 
being more distinct and much more ferruginous. Our bird differs 
from P. stridulus Swinhoe which Hartert regards as a species, in lack- 
ing the sharp contrast between the colors of the back and tail and in 
having a much longer bill.

DRYONASTES SANNIO (Swinhoe). 
23 specimens, Mengtsze, Jan., April, May, June, July, Aug., Sept.; 
Loukouchai, Jan., June. 
The specimens of this long series differ a little in color from those 
_ taken by Zappey in Hupeh and Szechwan, being slightly more oliva- 
| ceous and less rusty brown on the upper side. We have seen no 
| specimens of D. sannio from the type locality, Amoy, if it and the 
| Hupeh birds are the same, then D. albosuperciliaris of Godwin and 
| Austen from Manipur Valley near Kaibi, which is usually thrown into 
| synonymy, may apply to our Yunnan birds.
