27. Ribbon-tailed Flycatcher. Tchitrea principalis (Tem- 
minck )- 
I observed one in the garden ronnd Sankolin sin’s head-quar¬ 
ters at Takoo in the month of August. It was a female, and 
from its superior size I should take it to be the Japanese species 
rather than the Southern-Chinese bird, if these are different. 
28. Broad-billed Flycatcher. Hemichelidon latirostris 
(Raffles). 
Common in August. 
29. Grey-spotted Flycatcher. Hemichelidon griseisticta, 
n. sp. Wrongly referred to H. fuliginosa } 1 Ibis/ 1860, p. 57. 
This bird, which has occasionally been procured at Amoy; I 
met with in August in a garden near Takoo. I send the Editor 
an Amoy specimen for comparison. The species is closely allied 
to the last, but is larger, and is marked with oblong grey spots 
on the breast and flanks. Mr. Blyth has pronounced it new. 
30. Pied-tail Flycatcher. Erythrosterna mugimaki (Temm. 
6 Schl.). 
Very common in August and September about orchards. 
Throws up and expands the tail, uttering a Robin-like running 
note. 
31. Dalmatian Gold-crest. Reguloidesproregulus (Pallas). 
Very common among the trees near Tungchow in September. 
32. Yellow-rumped Gold-crest. Reguloides chloronotus , 
Hodgson. 
Common in the same spot and at the same date as the fore¬ 
going. 
33. Brown Wren. Phylloscopus fuscatus, Hodgson. 
Common in September. Col. Dupont shot specimens of this 
and the two last while a la chasse with M. Zill and myself. 
34. Crowned Wren. Phylloscopus coronatus (Temm. & Schl.jr 
I frequently saw a species of Yellow Wren in the low scrub near nii 
Tangkoo in August, which I took to be this species. As, how¬ 
ever, I did not procure specimens, I mark the name with a query. 
35. Leaden-legged Wren. Phylloscopusplumbeitarsus, n.sp. 
I shot but one of this pretty species, and took it at first for
