Lanius schach var. formose Swinh. This, 1863, p. 270. 
Lanius schach Swinh. P.Z.S. 1871, p. 375 ; La Touche, 
Ibis, 1895, p. 334: 1898, p. 366.

and plains of Formosa. 
44, +LANIus LucIONENSIS Linn. 
Lanius lucionensis Swinh. Ibis, 1863, p. 272; 1866, p. 394; 
La Touche, op. cit. 1895, p. 334; 1898, p. 366. 
The Luzon Shrike passes on migration in spring and 
autumn, and La Touche has seen it once or twice during 
the winter in North Formosa. Swinhoe observed this species 
late in December, and has stated (‘ Ibis, 1866, p. 594) that 
it passes the winter on the island. 
AMPELIDE. 
45, AMPELIS saponicus (Siebold). 
Ampelis phwnicoptera (Temm.); Swinh. Ibis, 1864, p. 427; 
1866, p. 307. 
A female of the Japanese Waxwing shot at Tamsui on 
the 17th of April is recorded by Swinhoe, but we cannot 
trace what became of the specimen. As in Foh-kien, it is, 
no doubt, a scarce winter straggler.

Calamoherpe orientalis Swinh. Ibis, 18638, p. 305. 
According to Swinhoe, the eastern form of the Great 
Reed-Warbler abounds in suitable localities in Formosa m 
summer. There are, however, no examples from that island 
in the British Museum.

Phyllopneuste fuscata Swinh. Ibis, 1868, p. 306. 
According to Swinhoe, Blyth’s Grass-Warbler winters in 
Formosa in small numbers, but we have not seen examples 
from that island,
