Mr. R. Swinhoc on Birds from Hahodadi. 467 



120. Spatula clypeata (L.). 

 A young male sent. 



121. MaRECA PENELOPE (L.). 



A female sent. 



122. Aix galericulata (L.). 

 A female sent. 



123. ffioEMIA fusca (L.). 



An adult and an immature bird sent^ with the note^ " I send 

 two specimens from Hakodadi, measuring 20^ to 21 x 10^ 

 to 11. I also send my Yangze specimen, shot at Chinkiang 

 in February, (5^, 20x IQi.'' This last turns out to be (E. 

 velvetina, Cass., the American form of the present species, 

 and not (E. americana, allied to (E. nigra, as I stated before 

 (P. Z. S. 1871, p. 419). 



" I am pretty certain we have (Edemia nigra. I saw num- 

 bers of Scoters along the S.E. coast last autumn, in which I 

 could detect no white at all. They keep up an incessant low 

 whistling noise." I suspect, however, that it will turn out 

 to be the American allied form of (E. nigra, as I have this 

 last from Kamtschatka. 



124. FULIX MARILA (L.). 



Two specimens sent. 



125. FuLix MARiLoiDEs (Vigors) . 



One specimen of this sent, agreeing with specimens pro- 

 cured by me at Ningpo, which I sent some home alive to 

 the Zoological Society^s Gardens (see P. Z, S. 1873, pp. 411, 

 412), with the note, "Have only two specimens, the other 

 being a ^ not in full plumage, 16f x 7\." 



" Have still only one red-breasted Diving Duck. It may 

 be F. baeri, Radde ; but the bill is more even in width all along 

 than Fulix." 



" Larus tridactylus (?) . 



" Only one specimen, ? , 16| x 12i, October, black-footed '' 

 {Blakiston) . 

 I have not procured this bird on the coast of China.
