456 Mr. R. Swinhoc on Birds from Hakodadi. 



113. PoDicEPs PiiiLippENSis (Bonn.). 



One of this shot in South YezO; with note on labcl^ '^ 9| 



Podiceps cornutus, Gmcl. 



One of these in winter plumage, and a P. nigricollis in 

 summer plumage, marked " ^ , April.^^ This last I received 

 before, and recorded in my first list, No. 53. 



Colymbus septentrionalis, L. 



" Only one specimen, with red throat, C arcticus (?) with 

 black throat ; and only one specimen of Meryus albellus." 



114. Mergus serrator (L.). 

 A female sent. 



115. Mergus castor (L.). 

 A male and a female. 



116. Cygnus musicus, Bechst. 



A skin of this is sent, with note, " adult male, 55 x 22\." 



117. Anser segetum, L. 



Two skins received, with the note, " These two specimens 

 killed out of the same flock ; others measure up to 35 x 

 20j, and bill up to 2| along edges." This settles the question 

 of the variability of this Goose, and confirms what I ascer- 

 tained of my own experience in my late residence at Ningpo, 

 China. 



118. Anser brachyrhynchus. 



A specimen sent marked " ? , October," with the note, 

 " One specimen, 27| x 16j, bill 2 ; did not see this when fresh, 

 but bill and feet appear to have been flesh- coloiu* ; otherwise 

 is a perfectly small edition of the last." I have never pro- 

 cured this species in China. 



119. Anser albifrons, Gmel. 



A male of April, with note, " Two specimens only, both ^ , 

 in April, 27| to 28| x 16i to 16^" 



" Anser erythropus (?). 



" A female, October, 21 1 x 14|, bill 1^ ; otherwise a small 

 edition of the last." No specimens sent.
