3¢. Mt. Talamau, Ophir Districts, 2500-2600 M. 
Iris greyish white, bill hornblack, base of lower 
mandible grey, feet plumbeous. 
Wings 59, 59, 56 mm. 
These bird were met on Mt. Talamau from 2400 metres 
up to the top (2912 M.), where they occurred in small 
flocks up to a dozen amongst the bushes of Rhododendron 
and Vaccinium. 
They were so exceedingly tame and inquisitive, that 
they approached to a distance of one to two yards, and, 
in fact, I several times caught these birds alive with my 
butterfly net, but had to release them, as I had no oppor- 
tunity then to prepare the skins. 
These specimens, which are probably topotypes of 
Z. montana are less yellow below than our large Korinchi 
series, but we are not inclined at present to separate them 
on this account.
