424 Mr. C. Ingram on the 



fertile alluvial tract in the west of Feng-tien (or Liao-Timg 

 Province), on the banks of the Liao Ho, and to the north 

 and west of Kirin, in the region of Petuna, and where the 

 Nonni drains the vast area of undulating steppes. " 



My Japanese collector reached the Khingan Mountains on 

 April 17th and stayed at a station of that name on the Trans- 

 Siberian Railway until June 30th. He informs me that this 

 station is the highest point on the line and is situated about 

 3500 ft. above sea-level. Thence he went south to Chang- 

 chun and afterwards to two neighbouring villages called 

 Fan-chia Tim and Chu-chia Tai. He returned to Japan 

 early in October. In the accompanying map (Plate VHI.) 

 I have marked the places visited by him, so that they may 

 be seen at a glance ; I have also shown most of the towns 

 mentioned on Sir Evan Jameses labels. 



The works chiefly cited in my paper are Taczanowski^s 

 ^Faune ornithologique de la Siberie Orientale,' Mr. Dresser's 

 ' Manual of Palsearctic Birds/ and Dr. Hartert's * Vogel der 

 palaarktischeu Fauna.' In referring to them, I have merely 

 given the author's name, followed by the number of the 

 page. Sir Evan James in his excellent work on Manchuria 

 has unfortunately devoted but little space to ornithology. 



In conclusion, I must express my thanks to Mr. Alan 

 Owston, who was good enough to make all the necessary 

 arrangements in connexion with the expedition : while I am 

 also deeply indebted to Dr. Bowdler Sharpe and Mr. Ogilvie- 

 Grant for their great kindness during my work in the 

 Natural History Museum, and last, but not least, to Sir 

 Evan James for very kindly looking through my proot-sheets 

 before they went to press.
