character which is to be found in all the other metallic-throated members of the genus JEthopyga. 

 The original specimen described by M. Verreaux in honour of M. Dabry was not " decouverte 

 dans le nord de la Chine," as Lord Walden justly doubted (Ibis, 1870, p. 35) ; for we are informed 

 by Mr. Sclater (Ibis. 1870, p. 297) that " the type specimen of this species was from the collection 

 formed by Msgr. Chauveau on the hills of Ta-tsien-leou, which borders the eastern boundary of 

 the Chinese province of Szechuen, and was transmitted to him by M. Dabry, the French Consul 

 at Hankow." 



Dr. Anderson procured this bird during the Yun-nan Expedition at Momien, and has like- 

 wise captured it in Burmah, at Ponsee, in the Kakhyea hills, in March, at an elevation of 

 3300 feet above the sea. 



Lieut. Wardlaw Ramsay also collected in Burmah, in March 1874, an immature male from 

 Karen Nee, and a female from the Tonghoo hills, at an elevation of 4200 feet, which specimens 

 have been kindly lent to me by Lord Walden, to whose friendly assistance I am thus indebted 

 for being able to figure and describe the female of this species. The adult male in the accom- 

 panying illustration is drawn from a very fine specimen, collected at Moupin by Pere David, and 

 now in Mr. Swinhoe's collection.
