This small Munia is resident all over the lower hills and 
plains of Formosa. 
Dr. Sharpe has separated specimens of this Weaver-Finch 
from China, Formosa, and Hainan under the name of 
U. squamicollis, but it appears to us that the Formosan and 
Hainan birds differ from the light rufous-chested form met 
with in China and should rather be placed with U. acuti- 
cauda (Hodgs.), typical specimens of which some of the 
Formosan birds closely resemble. It must, however, be 
remarked that the majority of our Formosan examples have 
the chest-feathers rufous-brown with pale edges, but these 
parts are much darker than in Chinese specimens. These 
birds are, moreover, quite similar to specimens of so-called 
U. acuticauda from Tenasserim and Siam, which seem to 
belong to a form intermediate between U. acuticauda and 
U. squamicollis. The subject, however, requires more time 
and attention than we can at present bestow on it.
