160 Mr. R. Swinlioe on Birds from Hakodadi. 



plumage. They arc marked, chiefly about the rump and vent, 

 with the ochreous rufescence that adorns tliis small group at 

 this season. I have procured this same species from Manilla 

 {Calornis albifrons, Blyth) ; and it doubtless winters in the 

 Philippines. I have never seen it on the China coast. 



29. Mountain-Finch. Fringilla montifringilla, L. 

 A female in February. 



30. Japanese Goldenwing. Chlorospiza kaioarahiba 

 (Temm.). 



A frill-plumaged male of May, and a young male of Sep- 

 tember. I have not seen this species in China. Our allied 

 C. sinica (L.) is larger in North China than in South. My 

 Peking specimen is very much larger than those from Amoy ; 

 but a Ningpo specimen is decidedly intermediate. 



31. Japanese Hawfinch. Coccothraustes japonicus, Bp. 

 A male and female without date. 



32. Mealy Redpole. Aegiothus borealis (Temm.). 



Of this species I have received from Hakodadi a male shot 

 in March, and two females, one shot in January, and the other 

 in March. They agree with specimens procured in England. 

 The male has a fine red breast, and some red on its throat, 

 cheeks, and rump. The January female has the forehead of 

 a yellower red than the March bird of the same sex. I have 

 a fine blushing male from Peking, presented by Pere David. 



33. Lesser E-edpole. JEgiothus linaria (L.). 



A male of February, with merely a tinge of pink on the 

 cheeks, throat, breast, and rump. This species is easily dis- 

 tinguished from the last by its smaller size, by having less 

 white on the rump, and scarcely any edging to its tail-feathers. 

 The Hakodadi skin agrees with home-shot specimens. 



34. Long-tailed Rose Finch. Uragus smiguinolentus 

 (Temm.) . 



A male of March, and a female of February. A fine species, 

 and very distinct from U. sibiricus of North-East Asia. 



35. Eastern Bullfinch. Pyrrhula orient alis. 

 A male and female without date.
