  Two 
  adult 
  males 
  are 
  typical 
  examples 
  of 
  the 
  Eastern 
  form 
  

   of 
  this 
  species, 
  Monticola 
  cijanus 
  solitarius, 
  with 
  the 
  under- 
  

   parts 
  below 
  the 
  midflle 
  of 
  the 
  breast 
  deep 
  chestnut.

  cyanurus. 
  

  

  Two 
  males, 
  one 
  shot 
  on 
  the 
  3rd 
  of 
  January 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  

   on 
  the 
  29th 
  o£ 
  December 
  on 
  Tsu-sima, 
  add 
  another 
  species 
  

   to 
  the 
  list 
  of 
  birds 
  found 
  on 
  that 
  island. 
  

  

  30. 
  Hypsipetes 
  squamiceps. 
  

  

  Three 
  examples 
  shot 
  in 
  February 
  and 
  March 
  belong 
  to 
  

   the 
  small 
  race 
  known 
  as 
  Hypsipetes 
  squmniceps 
  pryeri. 
  Two 
  

   of 
  them 
  (males) 
  measure 
  4*7 
  inches 
  in 
  length 
  of 
  wing 
  from 
  

   the 
  carpal 
  joint, 
  but 
  the 
  third 
  (a 
  female) 
  is 
  less 
  than 
  any 
  I 
  

   have 
  previously 
  seen, 
  only 
  measuring 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  wing 
  4"3, 
  

   tail 
  3'75 
  inches, 
  bill 
  -9, 
  tarsus 
  '8 
  inch. 
  

  

  32. 
  Zosterops 
  palpebrosa. 
  

  

  Four 
  examples 
  vary 
  somewhat 
  in 
  size. 
  They 
  are 
  all 
  dark 
  

   in 
  colour. 
  Wing 
  2*35 
  to 
  2*1 
  inches, 
  bill 
  from 
  frontal 
  fea- 
  

   thers 
  "45 
  to 
  "35 
  inch. 
  They 
  evidently 
  belong 
  to 
  a 
  large 
  race 
  

   of 
  Zostei'ojjs 
  palpebrosa 
  simplex. 
  

  

  38.

  An

  was 
  caught 
  on 
  board 
  the 
  steamer 
  on 
  the 
  24th 
  

   of 
  May 
  about 
  forty

  of 
  the 
  Loo-Choo 
  Islands.

  Three
