1 tail-feather, (Jhicheriang, South Hainan, 1904. 



This beautiful bird has been fully described, and the ditferences from the allied 

 forms stated by Mr. Rothschild, I.e. 



In 10(14 a tail-feather was found in South Hainan. From this single rectri.K — 

 especially when considering the new locality — Mr. Rothschild had no doubt that 

 we had in Hainan a new form of Folj/plectron ; but we cautiously refrained from 

 giving a new name from a feather alone, until we had received a series of complete 

 specimens, which Katsumata, Mr. Owston's excellent and diligent collector, sent 

 aViont a year later. 



"Iris lavender-grey; hill slate-black; feet plumbeous, claws slaty black " 

 (Katsumata). 



4. Excalfactoria chinensis (L.). 



Grant, P.Z.S. I'.KJO. p. .503. 



It seems that this species has not before been obtained in Hainan, where, 

 however, it was seen by Swinhoe. 



We have received 7 cJcJand 4 ?? from Gheteriaug and Borteii, in Hainan. 

 These birds are not as dark and as grey above as /J. chinensis lim-atits from the 

 Philippines (Malayan Islands, etc.) ; but seem to agree well with E. chinensis 

 chinensis, of which, however, our series is not good. (No. 233.)

We have received 5 ^ o and 9 ? ?, all from South Hainan, shot on December 

 21 to 24, 1903, and one on February 8, 1903. All the females have the lanceolate 

 throat-feathers, and nearly all specimens have the flank-feathers margined with 

 rufous. Therefore they are not Cottiini.v cottirni.c cotHrni.c, but C coturnix
