Ingram refers the specimens examined by himself, from wester 
Yunnan to Minla igneitincta Hodgson. Our skins, however, al 
winter and autumn killed, belong to the Chinese form having olive 
backs, and wholly bright yellow underparts and under wing coverts 
the sides flecked with olive-green. . 
Probably the species is a winter visitor only to our region. eet

On geographical grounds one might expect these skins to be refe 
able to S. w. suffusa Swinhoe. Such, however, is clearly not the ¢ cas 
The crown and edges-of the primaries in all three examples is - 
vinaceous rufous and the back is of the shade peculiar to true webbia 
and different from the shade shown in suffusa. _ 
All three were taken in winter and the collection contains no summer 
nor spring examples; it is therefore, we think, safe to assume that th y 
were merely winter stragglers of the northern form. The specimens 
afford the following measurements in mm.
