The remaining 45 species and subspecies may properly form the 
basis of our faunal deductions. There are not yet sufficient data for 
entirely satisfactory comparison of the birds of the various islands 
or groups of islands in the Anamba archipelago; but so far as I can 
see from our present knowledge there is very little difference between 
the individual islands, or between the islands of the eastern and 
western or northern and southern parts of the group. My treatment 
here is, therefore, of the Anamba Islands as a faunal whole. 
Fifteen species, or rather their subspecific representatives, are pe- 
culiar to the Anamba Islands, as follows: 
Muscadiwores aeneus polius. 
Dendrophassa vernans adina. 
Collocalia vestita amechana. 
Artamides sumatrensis calopolius. 
Cyorms banyumas lampra. 
Pycnonotus plumosus chiroplethis. 
Pycnonotus simplex halizonus. 
Pycnonotus brunneus zapolius. 
Mixornis pileata zophera. 
Kittacincla malabarica heterogyna. 
Gracula javana prasiocara. 
Dissemurus paradiseus microlophus. 
Anthreptes malacensis anambae. 
Cinnyris brasiliana eumecis. 
Dicaeum trigonostigmum hypochloum. 
Of these, the nearest relatives of 7 are found in the Malay Penin- 
sula; of 4 on Sumatra; of 4 on Borneo; of 2 on Java; and of 1 in Indo- 
China.! 
Subspecies of 6 other species are, outside of the Anamba Islands, 
confined to some of the other small islands of the South China Sea, 
chiefly the Natuna Islands, the Tambelan Islands, Pulo Tioman, and 
Karimata Island. These subspecies are: 
Hypurolepis javanica abbotti. 
Hypothymais azurea opisthocyanea. 
Aegithina viridissima thapsina. 
Kittacencla malabarica ochroptila. 
Lamprocorax panayensis heterochlorus, 
Aethopyga siparaja ochropyrrha. 
Of these, 6 find their nearest relatives in the Malay Peninsula, 
1 on Sumatra, 1 on Borneo, 1 on Java, and none in Indo-China.! 
The remaining 24 Anamba birds belong to more or less wide 
ranging Asian, Indo-Malayan, East Indian, Polynesian, Australian, 
Old World tropical, or tropicopolitan species. Twenty-two of these 
1Jn this, as in the following enumeration, it is necessary to explain that the nearest relative of some of 
the Anamba birds occurs in more than one of the five areas above mentioned.
