170 SOME CHINESE VERTEBRATES. 
Characters:— Similar to 7’. castaneocoronata (Burton) (Plate 5, fig. 3, bill) 
of the eastern Himalayas, but with a very much smaller bill (Plate 5, fig. 2) 
which is of a yellowish color throughout; (the two specimens of 7’. castaneocoro- 
nata examined have the maxilla dark brown); crown orange-rufous instead of 
hazel or chestnut; underparts slightly paler yellow, with a narrow band of olive- 
green spots across chest; eye-ring, showing most distinctly Just before and just 
behind eye, bright yellow. 
Measurements:— Type, adult 9, wing, 50.5; tail, 24; tarsus, 23; cul- 
men, 8.5. 
Remarks:— This Tesia also kept itself closely concealed in the thickets of 
rhododendron on Washan and the type was the only individual seen during the 
all too short stay on this exceedingly interesting mountain. 
YUHINA GULARIS YANGPIENSIS Sharpe. 
Two adults, male and female, taken together, on Washan, western Szech- 
wan, at 8,000 feet altitude, October 27, 1908. 
These skins agree exactly with Sharpe’s description, and are very different 
from examples of true Y. gularis from the eastern Himalayas. We have how- 
ever seen no specimens from Yinnan.
