frequented the summits of the trees, alighting for a few minutes, moving rapidly- 

 through the branches, flying outwards and back again, and then making off to 

 another tree, and being ever constantly on the move. It is not at all common in 

 the higher regions of the hills, but it is interesting to observe that I obtained a young 

 male in August at an elevation of 4,800 feet.

a. h. t Muangla, Sanda valley. May 1868. 



I shot this species in an isolated thickly-wooded hill behind the town of 

 Muangla in the Province of Yunnan. All the hills around are grassy and free 

 of trees, with the exception of a few small pines {Finns Masayanus), and the 

 lower portions of the high ranges of mountain that define the valley have been 

 cleared of forest, so that the number of species occurring in the valley is small.
