The Spectacled or Baikal Teal is extremely abundant on 

 passage. It passes from about the 10th of March to the end 

 o£ that mouthy and from the beginning of September to the 

 end of October.

The Common Teal is very abundant in spring and autumn. 

 It passes from about the 10th of March to about the 20th of 

 April, and from the beginning of September to the end of 

 October. As I have seen it in the winter in the game-stalls 

 in the market, it is most probable that a few winter in the 

 mountains. 



This Teal was one of the commonest Ducks at Newchwang 

 in 1889-90.

I saw and sliot AVigeou in April 1911 and April 1913, and 

 saw one shot iu October 1912. It does not appear to be so 

 common as most of the Ducks.

Bajila acuta D. & O. p. 498 ; La T. p. 584. 



The Pintail is perhaps the most abundant of the larger 

 Ducks. I have seen it from the end of February to the 

 middle of April, and from the middle of September to the 

 end of October. 



The Pintail was with the Common Teal the most abundant 

 Duck at Newchwang in 1889-90.

Querquedula circia D. & O. p. 502 ; La T. p. 585. 

 The Garganey appears at the end of March and during 

 September. In 1913 it was seen as late as the 31st of May.
