known from the type specimen, and of the strange Temnurus 

 niger, remarkable for its peculiarly shaped rectrices, as well 

 as of seven other new forms, which he characterized as 

 follows : — 



PsiTTIPARUS GULARIS IIAINANUS, n. subsp. 



The smallest form, otherwise nearest t to P. g. fokiensis, 

 with which it agrees in the large and deep black gular spot 

 and the great amount of black on the forehead. From 

 P. gularis gularis it differs in the darker colour of the back 

 and more greyish ear-coverts and region under the eye, 

 while from P. g. transjluvialis, which is almost as small, it 

 can at once be distinguished by its pure white, not buff 

 flanks. Wing 84-87 mm. (wing of P. g. transjluvialis 

 85-88, of P. g. fokiensis 97, P. g. gularis about 92 mm.). 



Hab. Mt. Wuchi, Hainan. Type No. 98 a, Katsumata 

 Coll. (8 specimens). 



Serilophus lunatus polionotus, n. subsp. 



Differs from S. I. rothschildi in the black lores, browner 

 crown and occiput, which is distinctly tinged with olive- 

 brown, but not at all buffy brown as in S. I. lunatus, while 

 the back is bluish ash-grey with no rufous tinge. The inner 

 secondaries are deep buff, only slightly darker than in 

 S. I. lunatus, but not chestnut as in S. I. rothschildi, 

 while the upper tail- coverts are quite as dark as in the type 

 of S. I. rothschildi. Pump as in S. I. rothschildi, but duller 

 and tinged with olive. 



Hab. Hainan, Mt. Wuchi. Type No. 176 a, Mt. Wuchi, 

 22.iii.1903. Katsumata Coll. (15 specimens). 



The three forms of S. lunatics may be distinguished as 

 follows : — 



1. S. lunatus lunatus (Gould). — Whole head (except fore- 

 head) rusty buff; lores buff; inner secondaries very pale 

 buff; whole back tinged with buff. Pegu and Tenasserim. 



2. S. lunatus rothschildi, Hart. & Bull. — Forehead and 

 crown grey, nape slightly tinged with brown ; lores jpale grey ; 

 back grey with a rufous tinge: inner secondaries chestnut- 

 rufous. Gunong Ijau, Perak.
