  with 
  Chinese 
  ornithology, 
  see 
  above_, 
  p. 
  54), 
  is 
  principally 
  

   from 
  Formosa 
  ; 
  a 
  second, 
  presented 
  by 
  Herr 
  A. 
  Schomberg, 
  is 
  

   from 
  Hainan 
  and 
  from 
  Pakhoi, 
  in 
  the 
  Gulf 
  of 
  Tonquin 
  ; 
  and 
  

   the 
  third, 
  from 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  Tientsin, 
  was 
  made 
  by 
  Herr 
  

   A. 
  Walte. 
  After 
  preliminary 
  remarks 
  on 
  these 
  and 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  

   the 
  principal 
  authorities 
  on 
  Chinese 
  birds, 
  Dr. 
  Hartlaub 
  gives 
  

   us 
  a 
  list, 
  with 
  notes 
  on 
  186 
  species 
  represented 
  in 
  the 
  three 
  

   collections. 
  

  

  Amongst 
  the 
  rarer 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  list 
  are 
  Erithacus 
  sibilans 
  

   (Swinh.), 
  an 
  example 
  from 
  Hainan 
  ; 
  Ixos 
  hainanus 
  and 
  

   Poinatorhi7ius 
  nigro-stellaius, 
  both 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  island 
  ; 
  as 
  

   also 
  Psaropholus 
  nigellicauda, 
  which 
  Dr. 
  Hartlaub 
  regards 
  as 
  

   a 
  good 
  species. 
  Of 
  Palaornis 
  lathami, 
  Finsch, 
  adult 
  and 
  

   young 
  examples 
  were 
  likewise 
  obtained 
  in 
  Hainan, 
  and 
  are 
  

   doubtless 
  correctly 
  determined. 
  But 
  as 
  regards 
  the 
  second 
  

   Chinese 
  species 
  of 
  Palceornis 
  mentioned 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Hartlaub 
  and 
  

   supposed 
  to 
  be 
  P. 
  derbyanus 
  (Dav. 
  & 
  Oust. 
  Ois. 
  Chine, 
  p.

   pi.

  we 
  believe 
  that 
  there 
  has 
  been 
  some 
  error 
  ^. 
  

  

  Other 
  interesting 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  Hainan 
  list 
  are 
  Ibis 
  

   melanocephala, 
  Eurinorhynchus 
  pygmceus, 
  and 
  Larus

  In 
  our 
  notice 
  of 
  Messrs. 
  Buckley 
  and 
  Harvie-Browne's 
  

   ^Vertebrate 
  Fauna 
  of 
  the 
  Orkneys^ 
  (Ibis, 
  189.2, 
  p. 
  166) 
  we 
  

   spoke 
  of 
  that 
  volume 
  as 
  completing 
  a 
  '' 
  trilogy.'^ 
  But 
  we 
  

   find 
  that 
  the 
  whole 
  series 
  consists 
  of 
  ,^i'e 
  volumes, 
  of 
  which 
  

   the 
  last 
  is 
  now 
  before 
  us. 
  That 
  these 
  excellent 
  books 
  have 
  

   been 
  much 
  appreciated 
  is 
  sufficiently 
  evident 
  from 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  

   the 
  first 
  two 
  (those 
  on 
  Sutherland 
  and 
  the 
  Outer 
  Hebrides) 
  

   are 
  already 
  out 
  of 
  print. 
  

  

  Of 
  the 
  present 
  volume 
  it 
  is 
  sufficient 
  to 
  say 
  that 
  in 
  general 
  

   execution 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  beauty 
  of 
  its 
  illustrations 
  it 
  fully 
  equals
