Hab. Pu-au-ting, South-west Kwei-chu, 27th January, 
1899. 
3. Siva wingatei, sp. n. 
Adult male. Allied to S. cyanuroptera, Hodgs., and S. sor- 
dida, Hume. It resembles both in the general colour of 
the upper parts, the grey of the head and neck, shading 
into olive-brown on the back and fulvous on the rump and 
upper tail-coverts. It further resembles S* cyanuroptera and 
differs from S. sordida in having the chin, throat, sides, and 
flanks washed with vinous grey. It differs from S. cyanu¬ 
roptera and resembles S. sordida in having no white tips to 
the bastard wing-feathers. From both it differs in having 
only the inner webs of the outer pair of tail-feathers white 
to the tip ; moreover, the feathers on the forehead, lores, 
and chin are strongly washed with rusty pink, though it is 
just possible that this colour may be due to stain. Iris 
brown. 
Total length 6’0 inches, culmen 0*6, wing 2*5, tail 2*5, 
tarsus 0 9.
