[Received and Read February 7, 1911.] 



After making the line collection from Shan-si and Shen-si, 

 which formed the subject of No. XI. of the present series of 

 papers, the Duke of Bedford's collector, Mr. Malcolm Andei'son, 

 paid a visit to Europe and America, and then I'eturned again to 

 China in the autumn of 1909. He there obtained the services of 

 Dr. J. A. C. Smith a,nd Mr. Kingdon Ward, who accompa,nied 

 him in his fiirther explorations inland. 



The ptirty first went up into Southern Shen-si, whence a, small 

 collection was sent home, which included the three species whose 

 descriptions w-ere published in the 'Proceedings'*. The other 

 forms then obtained will be referred to in a succeeding pnper. 



The next collection was made in the mountain I'egion of S.W. 

 Shen-si, but, owing to accidental delays, havS reached London 

 later than the succeeding set, which forms the subject of the 

 pi-esent paper. 



Mr. Anderson's part}' then proceeded into Kan-su, a province 



* P. Z. S. 1910, p. 635. These descriptions, though not -:o nurabcved, may be 

 considered to form No. XII, of the present series of papers.
