434 Mr. R. Swinhoe on Formosan Ornithology. 



186. Phalacrocorax bicristatus (Pall.). 

 Carho violaceus, Gmel. 



C. bilophus, Brandt. 



This is an inhabitant of Kamtschatka and Japan, and has 

 been ably described and figured in the ' Fauna Japonica.' Oc- 

 casionally during winter a specimen gets blown down to our 

 northern coast, but it ought hardly to be numbered among the 

 Formosan birds. 



187. QUERQUEDULA CIRCIA, L. 



A male of this Teal was brought to me alive on 13th March 

 at Tamsuy, " Bill light olive-brown, blackish brown underneath, 

 on the edge round and on and about the dertrum. Iris burnt 

 sienna. Legs ochreous grey, with browner webs and claws." It 

 is a brightly tinted specimen. The whole of the belly is deeply 

 stained with orange-ochre, as I have before observed in specimens 

 of Q. crecca shot at Amoy. This was the first time I met with 

 this Duck in China. Our other Ducks are the following : — 



188. QuERQUEDULA CRECCA, L. 



189. QuERQUEDULA GLOCITANS, Pall. 



190. QuERQUEDULA FALCARIA, Pall. 



191. MaRECA PENELOPE, L. 



192. Dafila acuta, L. 



193. Anas boschas, L. 



194. Anas p(ecilorhyncha, Pennant. 



195. Spatula clypeata, L. 



196. Tadorna vulpanser, Flem. 



197. Casarca rutila. Pall. 



198. Fuligula marila, L. 



199. Fuligula cristata, Ray. 



200. Clangula glaucion, L. 



201. Mergus serrator, L. 



There are, doubtless, other species comprised in the immense 

 flocks of Anatida that spread down our shores during winter.
