Nine specimens, adults of both sexes and one young female, Ichanghsien, 
Hsienshanhsien, Tawan, Changyanghsien, Ichang, and Tanshuiya, Hupeh, and 
Washan, western Szechwan, all seasons. 
CHIMARRHORNIS LEUCOCEPHALA (Vigors). 
Thirty-four specimens, both sexes, Ichang, Ichanghsien, Hsienshanhsien, 
and Changyanghsien, Hupeh, and Washan, Cheto, Motuimien, Tsaikow, Tach- 
ienlu, and Tachiao, western Szechwan. 
PHOENICURUS HODGSONI Moore. 
Two adult males, Ichanghsien, Hupeh, February 4, 1909, and Kiating, 
western Szechwan, December 18, 1908. 
PHOENICURUS AUROREUS AUROREUS (Pallas). 
Thirty-nine specimens, adults and young of both sexes, Ichang, Kwang- 
pow, Showlungtu, and Hsienshanhsien, Hupeh, and Nachuka, Washan, and 
Kiating, western Szechwan, all seasons. Mature birds and two nearly full 
grown young in spotted plumage, were taken August 12, and 14, at Nachuka, 
10,000 feet altitude. 
The recently described Phoenicurus auroreus filchneri (Parrot), if really 
distinct, has probably a slightly different range; at all events our birds are 
referable to true auroreus. The wing in our largest males not exceeding 75 mm. 
and in the females not exceeding 72 mm., breeding birds are no larger than those 
taken in winter. 
PHOENICURUS FRONTALIS Vigors. 
Seven specimens, adults of both sexes, and one young male in spotted 
plumage, Washan, Yachiakun, and Yachow, western Szechwan, all midsummer, 
except one male taken December 3. 
PHOENICURUS SCHISTICEPS (Gray). 
Five specimens, two adult males, one adult female, and two young males 
in spotted plumage, Ramala Pass, Shuowlow, and Wulungshih, western Sze- 
chwan, 12,500 to 15,000 feet, midsummer.
