Remarks.—Variation in colouration among the five specimens examined were as follows, viz., the colour 
of the broad frontal band, side of face and the longitudinal streak on occiput varies from very pale colour (almost 
white) to rather deep colour (pale rufous). This variation is commonly observed among specimens of the typical 
form from Hondo. 
Parus varius utsurioensis, subsp. nov. 
(Plate V, fig. 2). 
Gharacters.—Resembles P. varius namiyei Kuroda or P. varius owstont Tima, but it differs from the 
former by the bill much longer and stouter, by the upper parts distinctly tinged with olive colour and by the 
broad frontal band, side of face and the longitudinal streak on occiput and nape as well as the irregular spot below 
the black throat much paler. It differs from the latter by the somewhat shorter bill, by the upper parts less 
deep olive, and by the paler area on head and face of distinctly paler colour instead of chestnut,
