Iris blackish ; bill coral red {E. J.). 



The lower half of Manchuria probably forms the northern 

 limit of this bird's range on the continent. In Japan it 

 rarely reaches Yezzo in the summer. The more tropical 

 examples are rather darker and richer in coloration.

 July 22-28, 1908. 



Iris dark brovrn ; feet blackish ; bill black. 



All the examples in my collection are from the central part 

 of Manchuria, and as no birds were procured in the north, 

 it seems that the Hoopoe only inhabits the southern half of 

 the country.
