344 Mr. R. Swinhoe's Notes on Ornithology 



123. Small Black and White Heron. Ardea ? 



I several times put up a small black and white Heron; but as 

 I was unable to procure specimens, I cannot assign it to any 

 particular species. It may have been A. goisagi of the ' Fauna 

 Japonica.' 



124. Intermediate Egret. Herodias intermedia. 



I saw one of this species standing in a pool in August ; it was 

 much larger than H, garzetta and smaller than H, alba, and had 

 a yellow bill, 



125. Night Heron. Nycticorax griseus {L\xm.). 

 Common. 



125 a. Spoonbill. Platalea leucorodia, L. 



126. Coot. Fulica atra, L. 



Of frequent occurrence on the Yun-leang Canal. I shot one 

 out of a pair. 



127. Crested Grebe. Podiceps cristatus, L. 



128. Eared Grebe. Podiceps auritus, L. 



129. Philippine Dabchick. Podiceps philippinus, Jj. 



130. Grey Lag. Anser ferus, L. 



131. Bean Goose. Anser segetum, L. 



132. White-fronted Goose. Anser albifrons. 



133. Swan-Goose. Anser cygnoides, Pallas. 



It is difficult to believe that the wild bird is the parent of the 

 domestic Knotted Goose, so different do they look on comparison. 



134. Small Swan. Cygnus minor, Pallas. 



135. Goosander. Mergus merganser, L. 



136. Saw-bill. Mergus serratus, L. 



137. Swan. Mergus albellus, L. 



138. Sheldrake. Tadorna vulpanser. 



139. Ruddy Sheldrake. Casarca rutila. 



140. Mallard. Anas boschas, L. 



141. Baikal Teal. Quej-quedula glocitans {Vd\\.).
