Table of birds known at present from the various 

 islands and island-groups situated in a chain 

 between Kiushiu and Formosa. 



Remarks. — In the following table the names of birds are arranged in 

 alphabetical order. The numerals in parenthesis show the current number 

 used in the text of this report. The names without that reference number 

 refer to species not represented in the present Owston collection. The 

 mark + indicates specimen or specimens present in the collection ; 0> 

 known before but not present in the collection ; and (J), known before 

 and present also in the collection. For many species the locality had 

 been given by authors as simply " Loochoo Is." ; hence, the last column 

 in the table. It may here be mentioned that the Loochoo Islands 

 comprise the island-groups of Okinawa (of which Okinawashima is the 

 largest island), Miyako, Ishigaki and Iriomote, and the island of 

 Yonakuni.
