5 (?? ad. Cheteriang, January 1904 (No. 162). 

 S jnv. Mt. Wuchi, November 1906 (No. 162). 



It seems that the race called iS. rathofordi iuhabits the mouutaius and hill- 

 tracts of Assaru, Cauhar and Burma, and winters in Hainan. 



117. Milvus melanotis Temra. & Schleg. 



Grant, r. Z. S. 1900. p. 401. (Abundant throughout Hainan, tosto .Swinhoe.) 



A large series, <J and ? , mostl}' young, from Hoihow, Tingan, Cheteriang, 

 Wnpashi, Katsik, January, February, April, July 1903 — 100.5. (Nos. 6y, 19S, 260.) 



118. Lophotriorchis kieneri (Geoffr.). 



A fine 3 of this species was obtained at Mt. Wuchi, 18. xi. 190.5 (No. 262). 



Not recorded from Hainan. — It would be interesting to know whether these 

 birds breed on Hainan, the Malayan Islands, etc., or whether they are migrants 

 from the north.

Faico llnnuHculus japonicus Temminck & Schlegel, in Siebold's Fauivi Japniiiai, .li'cs, p. 2,

? Hainan, May 1, 190.5 (No. 113). 



All these specimens appear to belong to the race with dark, heavily marked 

 upper surface. This race, though very close to the Indian resident race named 

 " «a^«r<?,'«,s-," differs from the latter in having a less reddish (paler) undcr-surface 

 and heavier black marks on the back. Whether this form breeds on Hainan or 

 not I cannot say. 



Besides these five examples there is one, shot at Cheteriang 9. i. 1904, which 

 is quite light in colour, and which, I think, must doubtless be a migrant from the 

 north, and belongs to another subspecies. 



120. Falco peregrinus leucog'enys Brehm. 



Falco cnmmunis Grant, P. Z. S. 1900. p. 491. (RecordeJ from one male, December, by Hartlaub.) 



tJ Tingan, 10. vi. 1905 (No. 259). 



Although obtained in June, I do not think that the Peregrine Falcon breeds on 

 Hainan. I consider this specimen to lielong to the Siberian form, /•'. j/i're;/rinus 

 leiicof/eiiys, which migrates southwards in winter, and the present example, which 

 is in moult, must have remained behind for some reason. 



121. Baza lophotes (Temm.). 



Fako lophotes Temminck, PI. Col. i. pl. x. (182.3). 



One fine adult male from Namro, 12. iii. 03 (No. 165). 



" Bill and feet plumbeous ; iris verditer blue " (Katsumata). 



• This name has been overlooked in the Cai. B. Brit. iliu. i. p. 425, and again in the Ilund-list o£ 

 Dr. Sharpe.
