A female Mandarin-Duck was shot by the collectors on 

 the 17tli of Aprilj 1913. This is the only specimen of this 

 species that I have seen here. 



The Mandarin-Duck was found breeding in Manchnrian 

 forests by Mr. A. de C. Sowerby.

The Shoveler is to be seen on passage from about the 

 10th of March to the middle of May^ and again commonly 

 during the first fifteen days of October. It doubtless occurs 

 also in September.

 Fulix iiyroca D. & O. p. 507. 



The White-eyed Duck is extremely abundant during the 

 latter half of September and beginning of October. It 

 remains until the end of the latter month. This Duck, 

 which is said bv Pere David to abound near Peking: in 

 spring, has never to my knowledge been recorded on the 

 Lower Yangtse or in south-east China, but I believe that 

 two or three White-eyed Ducks seen in the Shasi (Hupeh 

 province) market on the 25th of February, 1918, were of 

 this species. 



297. Fuligula mar ila (L.).

 large pond at Chinwangtao.

Fulix cristata D. & O. p. 508 ; La T. p. 585.
