THE COLLECTION OF BIRDS 
Doctor Stanley took the men with him at the end of 
October to Mokanshan where a small but interesting collection 
was made. ( During December I had the men at Chinkiang 
for one month collecting winter birds. After three months 
more work at the Museum both the Taxidermists, together 
with a third collector engaged bv me, were sent to Shaweishan 
and collected migrants there from the 10th April to the 15th 
July, 1008. Tang Wang-wang returned to the Museum after 
Chinese New Year 1909 with a collection of Fohkien birds 
and small mammals ; he worked at the Museum with his 
brother until the beginning of May when he visited Chinkiang 
a second time to collect the spring and summer birds of the 
locality. 
The principal additions to the Bird Collection from May, 
1907 to May, 1909 were as follows : — 
(1.) A small collection of mounted birds from Fohkien, 
purchased in May, 1907. 
(2.) A small collection of skins from Fohkien, purchased 
in May, 1907. 
(3.) A valuable collection of birds from Fohkien, 
principally from the N.W. highlands of that 
province, purchased in October, 1907. In this 
collection there were a great many rarities and a 
large number of the birds had never been represented 
in the Shanghai Museum collection. 
(4.) A small but interesting collection of birds from 
Mokanslmn in North Chekiang made by the Museum 
collectors. 
(5.) A fairly complete collection of the winter birds 
of the Chinkiang district made by the collectors 
during December, 1907. 
f6.) A collection of migrants made at Shaweishan, 
mouth of Yangtze, by the collectors. This collection
