73 
common species which are wanting. A good many warblers 
( Silviida ’) have been mounted, the Shaweishan collection 
having added many species to the collection. The skin 
series being rather short, a number of species have had to 
be left out of the mounted collection. The blanks will be 
filled in as more specimens are procured. 
The Shrikes exhibited are, with few exceptions, those of 
the old collection and these will have to be nearly all renewed ; 
but the skin collection now contains a fair series of nearly 
all the Shrikes of Eastern China. There is now a very fair 
series of Drongos and Minivets. 
Among the Starlings, of which we have now a complete 
series, I am glad to state that the Rose-coloured Pastor 
( P. roseus L.), a unique example so far, has survived and 
is still in good condition. A pair of the Red-cheeked Starling 
(St. violacea Bodd.), of which several were obtained at 
Shaweishan, has been added to the mounted series. 
The series of Flycatchers is very fair, but none of the 
rarer southern species appear in our list. Examples of all 
those in the collection have been mounted. 
We have a complete mounted set of Forktails 
(Henicurus) from Fohkien, including 11. guttatus Gould. 
Among the Robins are good series of the Ruby-throat 
( C. camschatkensis T.), Pallas’ Blue Robin (A. cyane Pall.) 
and Swinhoe’s Red-tailed Robin (A. sibilans Sw.), specimens 
of which were in the old collection, but had to be thrown away 
as they were quite ruined. A pair of the Japanese Robin 
(E. akahige T.), the male from Fohkien and the female 
from Shaweishan, are now in the collection. 
The series of Eastern China Thrushes (Meritla) is complete, 
that of the Buntings is almost so. Specimens of all those 
in the collection are mounted. The Finches are still few in 
number, and so far we have not been able to procure new
