1943 "The Ornithological History of South China": Trans Nat Hist Soc Taiwan, XXXIII 
(Special No 1), pp 1-38, Aug 1943, 

A brief historical sketch of the development of ornithology south of the Yangtse 
Valley is given, including Tonkin but excluding Formosa and Hainan, Because of 
political disturbances no research work has been done in this vast territory 
since 1936, The names of workers, their chief collecting grounds, and the 
museums where their collections are preserved are listed. 
1944 "Avifaunal Distribution of Hainan" (with English resume): Trans Nat Hist Soc Taiwan,, 
XXXIV (246-247), pp 139-158, Apr 1944, 
Excluding migrants and doubtful records, more than 31 percent of the Hainan birds 
are endemic, A few of these are species, but most are of subspecific rank, More 
than 74 percent of the Hainan species (not counting subspecies) are common to 
southern China and Annam as well, The Annamese element is over twice as strong 
as the southern Chinese element, while two monotypic genera of Corvidae, Temnura 
and Cissopica, are known only from Annem and Hainan, More than two-thirds of the 
resident Hainan birds came from India and Burma, and less than one-third traveled 
by the Burma, Yunnan, and Kwangsi route, A few Hainan species not represented in 
southern China and Indo-China reappear in India, Burma, Siam, and Yunnan, The 
entire island is tropical, and even the Five-Finger Ranges are covered with thick 
forest, Therefore altitude has little affect on avifaunal distribution, which is 
ruled within the island by other ecological faétors,

1944 "Broad-Billed Roller around Chimneys": Tori, XI (55), pp 685-687, 1 pl, Sep 1944, 
Eurystomus orientalis has been observed in May and early June flying around tall 
factory chimneys in Saitama, Kofu, Akita, and other widely separated places, 
sometimes in pairs, occasionally in groups of seven or eight, Ne explanation is 
offered for this curious behavior, The birds sometimes perch on the chimneys, 
and once two fell through and were captured, The species is known to breed only 
in hollow trees in deep forests,
