103. TuRTUR HUMiLis (Temiu.). 

 A summer visitant. 



104. TuRTUR ORiENTALis (Lath.). [C. gelastes, Temm.) 

 This species is closely affined to T. meena, but is miich larger 



and has a black bill. It is found during the months of winter 

 in this neighbourhood ; I have also seen it in Formosa ; and a 

 specimen was given to me which had flown on board a ship out- 

 side the Madjicosima Islands. 



105. Francolinus perlatus (Gmel.). 



Birds of this species are brought to market by the natives 

 fx'om some neighbouring part of the country. 



106. CoTURxix CHiNENsis (Linn.). 



A winter bird here, and by no means common. Met with 

 occasionally amongst standing corn. 



107. Squatarola helvetica (Linn.). 



Met with in small flocks on the river mud-flats during winter. 



108. iEoiALiTES cANTiANus (Lath.). 



A winter visitant, associates in large flocks, and frequents the 

 sea-coast and mouth of the river. A few stay during summer, 

 and nestle on the mud-flats of the islands at the entrance to the 

 harbour. 



109. iEGiALiTES pusiLLUs (Horsf.). 



Resembles ^. hiaticula (Linn.). It is a winter visitant, and 

 prefers fields of dry mould to the sea-coast. It lives in small 

 parties, and rises with a pretty note, " teo-teo." 



Another species is occasionally shot, out of mixed flocks of 

 small sea-birds, resembling a good deal the yE, cantianus in 

 winter garb, but considerably exceeding it in size. 



110. HiEMATOPUS OSTRALEGUS, Liuu. 



Occasional winter visitant. 



111. Ardea cinereAj Linn. 



Common during winter; flocks occasionally pass over during 

 summer.
