South Formosa and its Birds. 333 



26. Anthus cervinus. 

 Abundant on the plain. 



27. Anthus richardi ? 

 Apes' Hill, Takow. 



28. Hypsipetes nigerrimus. 



Baksa, Bangkimtsing (forest), and South Cape. 

 Stomach of one bird contained the remains of a berry. 

 Bangkimtsing name " Soa" O chhiu." 



29. Pycnonotus sinensis. 



Abundant on plains and lower hills ; replaced at South 

 Cape by the following species. 

 Native name " Pa thau kok.'^ 



30. Pycnonotus taivanus, Styan, Ibis, 1893, p. 470; 1894, 

 p. 337, pi. ix. 



South Cape. 



One of my two specimens measures 203 mm. Iris dark 

 red; bill and legs black. In describing this species Mr. Sty an 

 omitted to mention the yellow vent. 



The South Cape is evidently the locality whence Mr. Styan's 

 bird was procured. As noted above, P. taiimnus is abun- 

 dant there, but is very wild. I did not see this species at 

 Baksa, Bangkimtsing, or about the ports of Anping and 

 Takow, so it is probably confined to the hilly country in the 

 southern extremity of the island ; it is possible, however, 

 that it may stray along the east coast. 



In connection with the rather restricted range of this Bul- 

 bul, it is interesting to read that the southernmost part of 

 Formosa was originally a coral island*. 



31. Spizixus cinereiceps. 



Specimens in moult procured at Baksa and Bangkimtsing. 



32. Oriolus diffusus. 



Common at Baksa, Bangkimtsing, and South Cape. 

 Native name " Ng yeng.'''
