sent to the British Museum were thus labelled. There is uo 

 doubt that the Formosan and Fohkien birds are distinct, the 

 former standing as S. bi'unneus (Gould). 



Babax lanceolatus (Verr.). 



A female was shot near Foochow 21 May 1910, not very- 

 far up the river. It differs from my three examples o£ 

 B. lanceolatus in having the ground-colour of the underparts 

 pure white and the pale streaks on the side of the neck 

 and on the hind neck also pure white. The central streaks 

 on the feathers of the hind neck are of a very dark rich 

 brown. Wing 3*55 in. ; tail 4"50 in, (central rectrices 

 partly in the quill).

I have a female example from central Fohkien dated 

 Jan. 1908, proving that this bird is a resident in Fohkien 

 and winters in the hills of the centre of that province. 



ElACHURA FORMOSA (VVald.). 



Elachura punctata La Touche, Ibis, 1899, p. 412. 



A female dated March 1911, received from Kuatun, 

 north-western Fohkien, is much paler on the underparts 

 than a male from the same locality, the ground-colour of 

 the throat and breast being white. The upper parts are 

 of a very dark brown. Wing 1*83 in,
