156 Messrs. Ogilvie-Grant and La Touche on 
names for them all, so I drew a head of a Crossbill and asked 
them if they had ever seen any bird like that, but they said 
no. Still there may be both Crosshills and Bullfinches on 
some of the other mountains. ‘There was only one highland 
bird of which I did not obtain a specimen, and that was a 
Dipper (Cinclus marila Swinh.). It was a black bird with 
apparently a brown head and no white or other marking 
about it whatever. I saw it at 9000 ft. in a torrent-bed on 
Mt. Morrison. I hope the Jay may prove to be new. When 
I shot the first Pheasant I really thought I had found a new 
species, but of course it was Swinhoe’s. It was disappointing 
to find it so high up. You will see two feathers from the 
tail of another Pheasant, which is doubtless new (Calophasis 
mikado Grant). It was only on the day we were leaving the 
mountains that I found these in the head-dress of a savage 
who had come to carry our baggage. He said he had killed 
it on Mount Arizan and that it was rare. From enquiries 
I have made, I believe Arizan would be a much better 
collecting-ground than Mt. Morrison. It is nearly as high 
(over 13,000 fi.), more of a single mountain, I believe, and 
covered with fine forests. I could never see the mountain, 
but it was not far from where we were. Had I gone there 
it would have necessitated refitting, which would have been 
an expensive undertaking, as I had to feed all the police and 
two interpreters (Japanese and savage), as well as the large 
number of savages required to carry the needful baggage. 
“T just escaped the big earthquakes in Formosa, for I 
arrived in Kagi from the mountains the day afterwards, and 
many people were killed where I had spent the previous 
night, at Rinkiho. The shocks continued, several a day, 
until I left the island.” 
Though Mr. Goodfellow states that he is dissatisfied with 
the collection that he made, he has really no reason to be so, 
as will be seen by those who read the following pages. To 
have discovered ten new species of birds is sufficiently 
satisfactory, and when we consider how remarkable some of 
these species are and the great difficulties with whicb he had 
to contend, I think that our readers will congratulate him 
very heartily on the successful results of his journey.
