We have examined the types of 41 nominal taxa based mostly on five bird collections made by George Forrest in Yunnan and described by Lord Walter Rothschild. In some cases, there is a need to designate lectotypes, which we do. We also clarify which types are in Tring and which are in New York (correcting an error previously published). Birds from Forrest’s 1930-1931 Yunnan expedition seem not to have been written up. A map is provided.
