Z., No. 61,985, Mengtsze, 16 September, 1910. Characters.— Similar to true C. trivirgatus (Strickland); but general color of underparts very much paler and brighter yellow, clear lemon- yellow on throat and chin; sides of head clearer and paler yellow; the black stripes on the top of the head narrower anteriorly; general color of upper parts more yellowish and less greenish; rump and upper tail coverts especially so.

Pericrocotus brevirostris ethologus, subsp. nov. 17 specimens, both sexes, Mengtsze, Feb., March, April, July, Sept.; Shi-ping Feb.; Loukouchai, Dec. On comparison of a large series of specimens it seems best to divide P. brevirostris (Vigors) into three subspecies, based on the coloration of the adult male plumage. The forms are about alike in size, and the females of the three are rather similar. Oates (Fauna of British India), has already alluded to the differences in color shown by the two Indian forms. The Chinese is quite different from either and has the under wing coverts and axillars nearly as yellow as in Pericrocotus igneus Blyth although otherwise not in the least like that species. Vigors's description and Gould's figure, both based on the same specimens, clearly were taken from the eastern form of intense colora- tion; M'Clelland's P. affinis is synonymous. The Yunnan skins are not typical of the Chinese form as defined below, and though nearer to it than to true P. brevirostris are inter-.
