Named after my daughter Jeanne. 



This is most probably the bird called Z.palpehrosa mussoti 

 Oustalet by Bangs and Phillips. 



-^ Zosterops erythropleurus melanorhynclia, subsp. nov. 



Similar to typical Z. erythropleurus Swinhoe, save that the 

 bill is considerably larger and differently coloured. Upper 

 mandible and point of lower mandible dark brown, base of 

 lower mandible violet-plumbeous. Legs greenish-plumbeous. 



Wing 59 mm. 



Type. ? , Mengtz, S.E. Yunnan (4000 ft.), 22 Oct., 1920. 



In true Z. erythropleurus the bill is small and flesh- 

 coloured with darker point. David and Oustalet, neverthe- 

 less, give the bill as brownish above and bluish underneath, 

 but state that it does not become black in drying. The 

 example described above has now the upper mandible and 

 most otthe lower one blackish. 



■V- Arachnothera longirostris sordida, subsp. nov. 



Nearest to Assam examples of A. longirostris, which it 

 resembles by its dull grey throat and breast, but differs from 

 it in its conspicuously shorter bill and dull whitish-grey lores. 

 It differs from Siamese birds by the dull-coloured lores, its 

 grey throat and breast, and very short bill. 



Wing 63 mm. ; culnien 32 mm. 



Type. (?, Hokow, S.E. Yunnan (300 ft.), 31 Mar., 1921.

Erratum. — Count Nils Gyldenstolpe writes to point out 

 that, through an error on the part of Mr. Stuart Baker, his 

 description of Molpastes atricapillns klossi was attributed to 

 Mr. H. C. Robinson (c/. Bull. B. 0. C. xli. p. 12, 1920).
