? Momien, 1st July 1868. 



I liave three European examples (Norwegian) of this species before me, and 

 I cannot detect that this Yunnan bird differs from them, except that its toes are not 

 nearly so well plumed. Its total length is 25 inches ; the wdng 18'0 ; the tail ll'O ; 

 and the tarsus 3*2. 



This fine female was snared in one of the ruined towns about Momien, and was 

 brought to me alive, and the natives asserted that it is not uncommon.
