Resumo: | Since the publication of my paper on birds from Formosa (Mees, 1970), a few more collections have been received from the same source. A ban has now been placed on hunting and export of wild birds by the government of the Republic of China — an enlightened and overdue piece of legislation — with the result that the connection has come to an end and no more material is to be expected from Formosa. Although the later collections do not contain anything spectacular, a few records merit publication and for the reason stated this is a good moment for doing so. I take the opportunity to report on a few specimens from our old collection and from other sources. Appended are a bibliography of ornithological papers that have appeared since Hachisuka &amp; Udagawa's (1950, 1951) comprehensive work was published, and lists of the species and subspecies that have been added to the avifauna of the island in this period.
