108. *Gecintjs hainanus. 



Gecinus hainanus, Grant, Ibis, 1899, p. 584-. 



This species is most nearly allied to 6. guerini (Malh.) from 

 China, but distinguished by the darker green colour of the upper 

 and under parts ; in G. guerini the general colour of the upper 

 parts is dull greyish green and the underparts are similarly 

 coloured, but paler, inclining to whitish grey tinged with green. 



This species is also related to G. occipitalis, which it resembles in 

 the dark green colour of the underparts ; but the upper parts and 

 wiugs are darker, the latter with very much less bronze-yellow 

 wash on the outer webs, which are indistinctly barred with paler, 

 while the tail-feathers are spotted, not barred ; the present species 

 is, moreover, considerably smaller than G. occipitalis, the bill 

 especially being shorter and less stout.

109. *Chetsophlegma styani. 

 Chrysophleyma styani, Grant, Ibis, 1899, p. 585. 



This species is most nearly allied, to 0. wrayi Sharpe and 

 C. ricketti Styan. From the latter it differs in being much smaller 

 and in having the terminal part of the outer primaries mostly 

 uniform black, as in G. wrayi. From C. wrayi it may be at once 

 distinguished by its larger size and by the dark brownish-chestnut 

 crown, the pale (Californian) gold nuchal crest, and the dark smoke- 

 grey underparts ; in these respects it resembles G. ricketti. 



The female of C. styani further differs from the female (type) 

 of G. wrayi in having the feathers of the middle of the throat paler 

 brown and margined with rufous instead of white.
