2. Additional Notes on the Birds of Hainan.* 

 By W. ft. Ogilvie-Gkant, F.Z.S., M.B.O.U.f 



[Received March 15, 1910.] 



The Natural History Museum has recently received a small 

 collection of birds from the Five- and Seven- Finger Ranges, Cen- 

 tral Hainan, procured by Mr. Robert Douglas, I.M.O., Shanghai. 

 It was forwarded in the first instance as a present to the 

 Zoological Society of London, but thanks to the good offices of 

 the Secretary was transferred to the Natural History Museum. 

 It contains several species of great interest, and among these 

 examples of a new species of Wood- Shrike (Tephrodomis hainanus), 

 and a new species of Ant- Thrush (Pitta douglasi) as well as a 

 Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis), not hitherto found in Hainan. 



In my article on the Birds of Hainan published in 1900 J 239 

 species were enumerated as inhabiting the island. Since that 

 paper was published Mr. Walter Rothschild has received a large 

 collection of birds from the island of Hainan made by Mr. Alan 

 Owston's Japanese collectors and containing specimens of the 

 beautiful Tree-Partridge {Arboricola ardens), hitherto known only 

 from the type- specimen. Mr. Rothschild described the following 

 species and subspecies (cf. Bull. B. O. 0. xiv. pp. 7-9, 1903) : — 



Psittiparus gularis hainanus. 



Serilophits lunulatus polionotus. 



Stachyris guttata swinhoei. 



Trochalopteron canorum owstoni. 



Stachyridopsis ruficeps goodsoni. 



Pomatorhinus tickelli hainanus. 



Cissa katsumatai. § 



The first of these, the so-called P. g. hainanus, does not appear to 

 be distinct from Paradoxomis fokiensis David, for, as will be seen 

 below, the difference in size is not appreciable, The species, how- 

 ever, was not included in my former paper, so that the total number 

 of species of birds now known to occur in Hainan amounts to 249. 



The number given for each species is the same as that used in 

 my paper on the Birds of Hainan ; for the sake of brevity this is 

 referred to as ' Ogilvie-Grant.'

 appears here, but since the names and preliminary diagnoses were published in the 

 ' Abstract,' No. 81, 1910, these species are distinguished by the names being under- 

 lined. — Editoe.]
