166 SOME CHINESE VERTEBRATES. 
PYCNONOTUS SINENSIS (Gmelin). 
Thirty-three specimens, young and adults, both sexes, Ichang, and Kwatze, 
Hupeh, and Hochianghsien, Wanhsien, and Nanchihsien, Szechwan, and Shang- 
hai, Kiangsu, all seasons. 
SPIZIXUS SEMITORQUES Swinhoe. 
Twenty specimens, both sexes, Ichang, Changyanghsien, Tawan, Kwatze- 
ling, Hsienshanhsien, Shihtowya, and Hsienshan, Hupeh, and Kiating, and 
Changshowhsien, Szechwan, all seasons. 
TIMELIIDAE. 
BaBAX LANCEOLATUS LANCEOLATUS (Verreaux). 
Seven adults, both sexes, from Hsientientze, Hsienshanhsien, Changyang- 
hsien, Hochaping, and Kwangpow, Hupeh, taken at all seasons of the year. 
BaBAX LANCEOLATUS BONVALOTI Oustalet: 
Six specimens, young and adult, both sexes, Ramala Pass, Tachienlu, and 
Cheto, western Szechwan, midsummer. 
The one adult &, with a wholly striped belly, from the Ramala Pass, 
14,000 feet, is apparently an extreme example of this large, dark western sub- 
species. As Oustalet has ‘already mentioned Tachienlu specimens are somewhat 
intermediate, but they are so very much nearer the Tibetan subspecies than to 
true lanceolatus, that there is no question but that they should be placed with 
the former. 
TROCHALOPTERON ELLIOTI ELLIOTI Verreaux. 
Twenty-eight specimens, Washan, Tachienlu, Yachiakun, Tachiao, and 
Cheto, western Szechwan, and Changyanghsien, Hsienshanhsien, Mafuling, 
Hsienshan, Kwangpow, Patung, Tanshuiya, and Hsientientze, Hupeh, all 
seasons. 
TROCHALOPTERON FORMOSUM Verreaux. 
Three adults, two males and a female, taken at Washan, western Szechwan, 
7,000 feet, October 31, 1908.
