Z., 1909, 52, p. 141) overlooked La Touche's name when describing their Niltava lychnis. There is, however, a chance that their bird from Hupeh is subspecifically dis- tinct from N. davidi La Touche, which came from northwestern Fokien. The two males in the present collection agree almost exactly with La Touche's description of N. davidi and differ from the type of N. lychnis in having the crown brighter blue and the chin, sides of the head and throat washed with dark, bluish purple, whereas in the type of N. lychnis these areas are dead black.
