BIRDS FROM ISLANDS BETWEEN KIUSHU AND FORMOSA 



II. Average lengths taken from 



27 specimens, all ^s . . 10 mm. ... 55.0 mm. ... 20 mm. 



Of the latter group, none shows any indication of being specifically 

 distinct from the rest. I conclude that the present collection at any rate 

 contains but one Ccttia species, viz , C. cant ans, in which the males are 

 persistently larger-bodied than the females.
