81. Clark on the Birds of Korea. 



[Report on a Collection of Birds made by Pierre Louis .Jony in Korea. 

 Bv Austin H. Clark. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. vol. xxxviii. pp. 147-176 

 (1910).] 



In 1907 (see ' Ibis,' 1907, p. 641) Mr. Clark described 

 the (supposed) new species of birds represented in a large 

 collection made by the late Pierre Louis Jouy during a 

 residence of over three years in Korea. Mr. Clark now gives 

 us a complete list of the whole collection, which belongs, 

 we suppose, to the U.S. National Museum. It contains 554 

 specimens, taken mainly at Fusan, Chemulpo, and Seoul, 

 though some are from the island of Tsushima in the Korean 

 Straits. Other interesting specimens obtained by Dr. VV. 

 Lord Smith of Boston, in 1892-3, in South-western Korea 

 are likewise noticed. 



The whole list contains the names of about 165 species, 

 which are arranged after the fashion and nomenclature of 

 the American ' Check-list.' It is of considerable interest, as 

 the Ornis of Korea was previously little known to us, although 

 many stray specimens had been obtained there. 



We see no mention in it of the Branicki's Sea-Eagle 

 (Haiiaetus branickii) , allied to but quite different from 

 H.pelagicus, and described by Taczanowski in 1888 *, from a 

 specimen obtained in Korea by Kalinowski. The example of 

 this magnificent bird, formerly living in the Zoological 

 Society's Gardens f, is now, we believe, in the Norwich 

 Museum.
