THAYER AND BANGS: AVES. 183 
sicauda (Swinhoe) of Amoy and southeastern China. These two are not very 
different in color, the upper parts ranging, in summer plumage, from drab to 
wood brown; and the same parts in the winter plumage are about ochraceous 
cinnamon. 
Measurements:— Type adult #, summer plumage, wing, 51; tail, 67; 
tarsus, 21; culmen, 10.5. No. 52578, adult male from Kiating, western Sze- 
chwan, in winter plumage, wing, 50.5; tail, 89; tarsus, 22; culmen, 10.5. 
Remarks:— We can not find that this dark, well-marked form of P. inor- 
nata has been named, although it seems probable that Dr. Anderson’s Yiinnan 
specimens would be referable to it. The seasonal differences are the same as 
in other members of the genus, but in both plumages it is easily distinguished 
from any other of the subspecies by its much darker, deeper coloring.
