THAYER AND BANGS: AVES. 187 
CERTHIA HIMALAYANA YUNNANENSIS Sharpe. 
Three adults, two females and a male Ramala Pass and Nachuka, western 
Szechwan, 12,000 to 13,000 feet altitude, August. 
TICHODROMA MURARIA (Linné). 
Four adults, both sexes, Ichang, Hupeh, and Kiating, Washan, and Kungya- 
hsien, western Szechwan, winter. 
ZOSTEROPIDAE. 
ZOSTEROPS SIMPLEX Swinhoe. 
Four adults, both sexes, taken in spring, and summer at Hsienshan, and 
Kwatzeling, Hupeh. 
These specimens, while probably referable to Z. simplex rather than to Z. 
mussoti Oustalet of Szechwan, which was not observed by Mr. Zappey, show 
some signs of being intermediate; they have smaller bills, and the black line 
from the side of the bill to and below the eye is more distinct than in Z. simplex; 
but the yellow of the throat does not extend far backward, and the color 
agrees with that of Z. simplex. 
DICAEIDAE. 
DIcAEUM IGNIPECTUS CYANONOTUM Styan. 
fod 
Two adult males, one from Hsienshan, Hupeh, June 7, 1907, the other 
Wahsien, western Szechwan, April 2, 1908. 
This well-marked form appears to be rare, and the two specimens taken were 
the only ones seen. 
NECTARINIIDAE.

Twenty-one specimens, adults of both sexes, Hsientientze, Mafuling, 
Wantaoshan, Patung, Hongsurkow, Hupeh, and Washan, western Szechwan,
