ç Momien, 1st July 1868.
I have three European examples (Norwegian) of this species beforé me, and
I cannot detect that this Yunnan bird differs from them, except that its toes are not
nearly so well plumed. Its total length is 2 5 inches ; the wing 1 8 -0 ; the tail 1 1 0 ;
and the tarsus 3 -2 .
This fine female was snared in one of the ruined towns about Momien, and was
brought to mé alive, and the natives asserted that it is not uncommon.

HYDBOCISSA. 577
This form would appear, from the reasons stated by Mr. Hume and which also
suggested themselves to me when I first shot this bird in 1868, to be specifically
distinct from C. bra/ma of India.
I found both of these individuals roosting, in early morning after the sun was
up, among the dense foliage of a Banyan tree.
