STEJNEGER’S CATALOGUE OF BIRDS THUS FAR 
RECORDED FROM THE LIU KIU ISLANDS, 
JAPAN, REVISED WITH ADDITIONS 
TO. DATE. 
BY OUTRAM BANGS. 
At the close of an article on birds from the Liu Kiu Islands, 
in the Proceedings of the U. S. National Museum, Vol. X, 1887, 
pp. 414 and 415, Dr. Leonhard Stejneger gave a complete list of 
all species that, up to that date, had been recorded from the Liu 
Kiu Islands. In 1900 the Museum of Comparative Zodlogy 
received from Mr. Alan Owston a fine collection of Liu Kiu birds, 
which brought the number of species from seventy-seven in 
Stejneger’s list to ninety-nine.’ It therefore seems worth while to 
publish a revised list of the birds of these islands, which I do with 
Dr. Stejneger’s full approval and consent. ‘The new list is made 
to conform, as much as possible, to Dr. Stejneger’s old one, and 
the same systematic sequence is followed. Some of the generic 
names are not the ones used by Stejneger, and possibly his views 
are really the correct ones (for example, /anthenas jouyi and /. 
janthina vs. Columba jouyt and C. janthina), but in this respect I 
have tried to bring the nomenclature up to date. 
In the following list the particular island from which a species 
has been recorded is not stated, but this can be ascertained easily
