Remarks.—In Proc. U. §. Nat. Mus., 1887, Vol. X, pp. 406-407. Stejneger 
pointed out the structural differences between the Liu Kiu species and Z. 
narcissina ; he, however, had but one young example of the island species, and 
on this account refrained from giving it a name. The one skin obtained by 
Zensaku bears out all the structural characters, and besides shows marked color 
differences from either Z. narcissina or Z. zanthopygia. 
The type of Z. owstoni, a male, appears to be in full breeding plumage, and 
if so, the dark olive green color of the back is unlike any other species, and 
would alone distinguish the Liu Kiu form. 
Cisticola brunniceps (Temm. & Scut.). 
Two adults from Ishigaki, ¢ taken March 7, 9 Junel. The fantail warbler 
is said to be the most abundant bird in the islands. [It builds its nest in 
grass a foot or two above the ground. Eggs, as many as seven in a clutch, were 
taken from March 25 to June 30.] 
Cettia cantillans (Temm. & Scut.). 
One adult 9 from Ishigaki, March 5. [Six specimens were taken on Ishigaki 
between March 5 and April 7.] 
Cettia cantans (Tem. & Scut.). 
Two specimens from Ishigaki, ¢ taken March 25, 9 April 6. [Specimens 
were secured between February 18 and April 6.] 
Hirundo rustica gutturalis (Scor.). 
Two adults from Ishigaki, ¢ April 4, 9 April 3, 1899. [Four birds in all 
were obtained on the island between April 2 and April 5.] 
Pericrocotus tegimae SrTesn. 
A pair of adults from Ishigaki, the 9 taken June 20, the ¢ June 10. These 
specimens agree exactly with Stejneger’s type.
