Chine, p. 98 (1877); Gadow, Cat. Birds B. M . viii. p. 270 (1883). a. Olga Bay, September 1879. This unique specimen is apparently referable to this species, although it differs from six Japanese specimens, with which it has been compared, in the more reddish colour of the pileum and cervix, and in having the flanks decidedly of a deeper chestnut, and the back also tinged with reddish chestnut. The lores and periotic region are black ; the breast is marked with narrow dark crescentic bands. 5. IANTHIA CYANURA (Pall.). Lanthia cyanura, David et Oust. Ois. Chine, p. 231 (1877). Tarsiger cyanurus, Sharpe, Cat. Birds B. M . iv. p. 255 (1879). a. 3 ? Olga Bay, September 1879. A single specimen in the garb of the adult male, viz. with all the upper parts of a deep blue. 6.

Olga Bay, September 1879. Underparts very yellow, hardly any trace of fulvous on the breast. The specimens appear to be fully adult and, of course, belong to the eastern race, which only differs from western specimens in being slightly smaller and in having a rather shorter tail. Such differences are, however, said not to be constant; and we must further remark that our specimens are moulting. 8. EMBERIZA CASTANEICEPS, Moore. Emberiza castaneiceps, Moore, P. Z.
