tinge above, or the pale spots on centre of back, and the upper tail- 
coverts (as well as the feathers of the rump) are broadly tipped with 
rosyvinaceous ; crown, nape, and back, deep brown with a blackish 
central streak to each feather ; tertiaries margined with whitish, greater 
wine-coverts the same towards their tips, and the next range of wing- 
coverts having each an oval terminal spot ; axillaries and under-coverts 
of the wing white ; primaries and tail dusky ; bill and feet brown. The 
female is similar to the male above, but has no frontal band, the super- 
cilia are whitish, and the rump feathers are margined with golden 
fulvous ; throat and breast rufous, the cheeks and sides of the throat 
and the abdominal region, whitish, with a strongly marked black 
median line to each feather. Length of wing 24 in., of tail 3 in. ; 
tarse $ in, Female rather smaller. From Tonglu mountain. 
Also a very fine new species of true Bullfinch, being the fourth now 
known to inhabit the Himalaya. 
PYRRHULA ERYTHACA, nobis, 2. s. Upper parts pure ashy, like the 
back of P. vunearts, Ray, also the front of the neck becoming whitish 
on the throat ; pectoral region fine red ; the abdominal pale ashy, and 
the lower tail-coverts white ; a broad white band on the rump, as in 
P. vunearis, above which is a sight black band, and the upper tail- 
coverts and tail are rich purple-black, the middle tail feathers being 
# in. shorter than the outermost ; a black ring encircles the bill, and 
spreads over the loral region, this rmg being bordered and set off with 
white ; wings black, except the smallest coverts which are grey, and 
a brownish-grey band (% in. broad) tipping the greater coverts; no 
red mark upon the tertiaries. Bill black and feet pale. Length of 
wing 3% in., and of tail3 im. This fine species is as large as P. NIPA- 
LENSIS, Hodgson, and serves to link that somewhat peculiarly coloured 
species with its congeners. The female is unknown. From Tonglu 
mountain. 
Parus Beavanti, nobis, m. s. Like P. RUFONUCHALIS, nobis, of 
the N. W. Himalaya, but the black much less extended upon the 
breast as in P. MHLANOLOPHUS, Vigors; no trace of rufous, on the 
white nuchal spot, but the axillaries and lower tail-coverts are of this 
hue. From Tonglu mountain. 
ANTHUS ROSACEUS, Hodgson. Thisis not the A. cervinus, Pallas, 
of China, Upper Pegu, and also the Andaman islands. The upper 
parts are much darker, the ear-coverts are duskyish whereas in the other
