Mr. R. Swinhoe on Birds from Hakodadi. 147 



(October) from near the same place. My attention is called 

 to the way this species and Querquedula crecca get a rusty 

 tinge. This I have also noticed in our Chinese birds. 



149. DaFILA ACUTA (L.). 



A male and female from Awomori, both procured in April. 



150. Querquedula CRECCA (L.). 



A male (April) from Hakodadi. A female (October) from 

 S. Yesso. 



151. EUNETTA FORMOSA (Gcorgi) . 



A male (April) from Awomori^ and a female from Mr. 

 Oda from Yeddo. 



153. Harelda glacialis (L.). 



A female (February) from Hakodadi. I never met with 

 this species in China ; but it has been shot at the mouth of 

 the Peiho river. 



With reference to Fidigula mariloides, sent on a former 

 occasion, Mr. Blakiston writes, " If you are certain of the 

 identification of the bird I sent before, then the immature 

 male I have is this species. Otherwise I should have con- 

 sidered it as F. cristata, of which I have two unmistakable ex- 

 amples with crests. ^^ I was, without doubt, right, haviug 

 procured the same species before at Ningpo*. 



153. Bucephala clangula (L.). 



A male and female, both from Hakodadi, the latter killed 

 in November. 



154. Clangula histrionica (L.). 



A male from Hakodadi (June), and a female from S. Yesso 

 (November) , I have never heard of this species being found 

 in China, It never occurred to me. 



He also sends an adult female from Hakodadi of Phalacro- 

 corax pelagicus, Pall., with no white on the flanks, and only 

 a few points of white on the neck. He sent before the im- 

 mature of this species ; so it has already been numbered (see 

 Ibis, 1874, p. 164) .
