the Birds of the Island of Formosa. 157 
The great majority of the birds collected represent forms 
peculiar to Formosa, and the following is a list of the 
novelties he obtained :—Xanthopygia affinis, Ianthia john- 
stonie, Suthora morrisoniana, Actinodura morrisoniana, Tro- 
chalopterum morrisonianum, Proparus formosanus, Yuhina 
brunneiceps, Regulus yoodfellowi, Carpodacus incertus, and 
Calophasis mikado. 
Several other species, such as Microcichlu scoulert, Avgi- 
thalus concinnus, Anorthura fumigata, and Cryptolopha 
fulvifacies, were observed for the first time in Formosa. 
So far as is at present known, the following families of 
Passeres are not represented in Formosa :—Nectariniide, 
Diceide, Certhiide, Artamide, and Eurylemide ; while 
among the Picarian groups no representatives have been 
discovered of the Bucerotide, Meropide, Coraciide, Podargide, 
and Psittacide. Representatives of some of these families 
may and probably do occur, but the list is worthy of special 
attention, now that our knowledge of the highland avifauna 
of Formosa is more complete, for in many respects the 
Avifauna of the Himalaya is similar to that of the mountains 
of Formosa. 
The following is a list of the principal papers and_memoirs 
dealing with the ornithology of Formosa :—
