Wikuchi and is now preserved in the Zoological Museum, Scince College, Tokio. The second specimen of the form 
was obtained by the same collector at Uraitaura, Nanto Distr., Jan. 12, 1908, and is preserved in the 'Taihoku 
Museum. Both the specimens were examined by Mr. 5. Uchida, but as the specimens were young females, he 
hesitated to call them by a new name (Ann. Zool. Japon., 1912, p.208). Mr. Ogilvie-Grant opmed that the said 
specimens represented the female of Dic@uwm formosum (Ibis, 1912, p. 653). 
の . m. uchidai difters from the female of D. formosum im the smaller size; in the bill being distinctly longer and 
curved ; in lacking a metallic lustre on the upper surface except on tail-feathers ; and in the lower surface being of a 
more oliVaceous tinge. 
The subspecific name is given in honour of Mr. Uchida.

Of this species I have examined seven adult males, one adult female and two young females, all collected by Mr. 
Kk. Asakura in central Formosa. 
Some points of individual variation are noticeable in the adult males. In two of the specimens the white patch on 
throat shows a considerable admixture of red, while in the others the red is much less represented. Sides of breast aud 
flanks are of an olivaceous colour in four specimens, but distinctly yellowish buff in three. All the specimens agree 
in the colour of back. 
Description of the adult female: Head dark olive, the feathers being margined with metallic steel green and 
possessing dark centre; upper back down to lower back olive green, with some glossy steel green on scapulars and
