. Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College. Zoology; Zoology. 268 BULLETIN: MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. Mr. Wilson informs us that the plain about the city is almost birdless. The region appears to be a favorite winter resort for many species of birds, whose breeding grounds are either in the higher mountains near by or in north central and eastern China. The series of a species often contains two subspecies, one, sometimes both of which do not breed in the immediate vicinity. This is made evident by the date on the labels, although no field notes accompanied the collection. Bird col- lecting was carried on through every season of the year, and the com- moner resident species are almost always represented by skins in fresh autumnal or winter dress, and by well-worn summer specimens. We have marked with an asterisk, each species not in Ingram's list. All measurements are given in millimeters, and for all new descrip- tions Ridgway's color standard (Washington, 1912) has been used. Phasianidae. Francolinus chinensis (Osbeck). 1 d\ Mengtsze, 26 May, 1911. *Arboricola rufogularis euroa, subsp. nov. 2 cf's, Mengtsze, March, July. Type:— adult cf, M. C. Z., No. 61,841, Mengtsze, 18 March, 1911. Characters.— General coloration darker and richer, and size larger than in true A. rufogularis Blyth from Sikhim. The white central shaft stripes of the flank feathers are reduced to mere lines; crown greyer and less olivaceous, especially towards the forehead; scapulars and greater wing coverts with larger black areas. Measurements of the type: wing, 160, tarsus, 42, culmen from base of forehead, 25. * Bambusicola oleaginia, sp. nov. Type, and only specimen:— adult cf, M. C. Z. No. 61,839, Mengtsze, 12 December, 1910.
