edges of the quills white: wings much as in S. verreausi 
Sharpe, with the outer margins to the quills orange-buff ; tail 
similar to that of S. nipalensis Hodgs. Iris red; bill pink. 
Total length ca. 4°0 inches ; wing 1:9; tail 2:2; tarsus 0°7. 
This distinct Crow-Tit, of which only one adult male 
example was procured, is perhaps most nearly allied to 
S. verreauxi Sharpe, from China, and 8. craddocki Bingham, 
from the Southern Shan States. From both these the 
Formosan bird is distinguished by the yellowish olive colour 
of the upper parts, sides of the breast and flanks, as well as 
by other characters.

plains, except at the South Cape, where its place is taken by 
P. tatvanus Styan.

This Bulbul has apparently a most restricted range, and, 
so far, has only been found at the South Cape, the southern- 
most point of Formosa. Only three examples are known: 
the type in Mr. Styan’s collection, and two shot by 
La Touche. Oneiof the latter skins is now in the British 
Museum.
