90 Mr. D. A. Baniierraan on the 



descriptions of the eo:gs, on the autliority of Francisco 

 Newton. Count Salvadori includes very few field-notes in 

 his systematic treatise on the birds obtained by Siguor Fea. 



Thi'oughout the following pages I have quoted Count 

 Salvarlori's paper on the birds of St. Thomas, which 

 appeared in the Mem. Ace. Sci. Torino, 1903, pp. 17-45, as 

 " Salvadori, Orn. Golfo d. Guinea, ii." ; also the paper pub- 

 lished in 1905 by Professor Bocage, which is the most recent 

 work on the birds of St. Thomas, and contains full references 

 to previous writings. Wherever possible, I have given a 

 reference to Shelley's ' Birds of Afi'ica.' 



All the islands in the Gulf of Gninea are rich in insular 

 races, and St. Thomas is particularly favoured in this respect. 



The following species and subspecies are probably restricted 

 entirely to St. Thomas : — 



1. Onycognathus fulgidus Hartl. 



2. Oriolus crassirostris Hartl.. 



3. Hyphantorms grandis Gould. 



4. Heterhyphantes sancti-thom(B (Hartl.). 



5. Lagonosticta perreini thomensis Sousa. [Doubtful.] 



6. Neospiza concolor (Bocage). 



7. Linurgus rufobrimneus thomensis (Bocage). 



8. Cinnyris neivtuni (Bocage). 



9. Elceocerthia thomensis (Bocage). 



10. Speirops lugubris (Hartl.). 



11. Zosterops ficedulina fece Salvad. 



12. Lanius newtoni (Bocage). 



13. Prinia molleri Bocage. 



14. Tardus olivaceofuscus Hartl. 



15. Amaurocichla bocagei Sharpe. 



16. Terpsiphone atrochalybea (Thoms.). 



17. Chcetura thomensis Hartert. 



18. Corythornis thomensis Salvad. 



19. Flanimea flammea thomensis (Hartl.). 



20. Vinago sancti-thomce (Gmel.). 



21. Columba thomensis Bocage.
