440 Mr. C. Ingram on the 



54. CoTiLE RiPARiA (Linn.). Common Sand-Martin. 

 Dresser, p. 271. 



Bianehi records the Common Sand-Martin from South 

 Manchuria and is careful to mention that his example, 

 killed at Yingtzu, July 21, 1901, was not C. sinensis. That 

 species doubtless also occurs in Manchuria, as it is said to 

 range into the Ussuri Country, while it winters in the 

 Philippines, S. China, Siam, and Burma. 



55. Chloris sinica (Linn.). Chinese Greenfinch. 

 Dresser, p. 284 ; Hart. p. 64. 



a. juv. ? . Khingan Mts., alt. 3700 ft. May 29, 1908. 



Iris dark brown ; feet pale brown : bill brownish. 



This specimen is in its first plumage, so it is difficult to 

 determine whether or no it belongs to Hartert's subspecies 

 ussuriensis. 



56. EoPHONA MELANURA MiGRATORiA Hart. Migratory 

 Grosbeak. 



Hart. p. 59. 



a, b. c? J . Chu-chiaTai, Kirin Province. Aug. 18 and 19, 

 1908. 



This form seems to be very distinct from the typical 

 Chinese bird, both in coloration and in size of bill, and is 

 easily recognisable. It is surprising that it should have 

 remained undescribed for so many years. 



57. Passer montanus (Linn.). Tree-Sparrow. 

 Tacz. p. 617; Dresser, p. 293; Hart. p. 161. 



a, b, c. ? ? 5 . Khingan Mts., alt. 3500 ft. May 5-27, 

 1908. 



d. (Tung-hua Hsien.) June 6, 1886. (E. /.) 



Iris brown ; feet light brown ; bill blackish. 



Doubtless a common bird throughout Manchuria : it is 

 certainly fairly plentiful along the Railway in North 

 Manchuria.
