21. ACANTHOPNEUSTE CORONATA. 



I did not notice this bird before the end of May, when 

 the sexual organs were well developed. 



22. ACANTHOPNEUSTE BOREALIS. 



This was the latest of the Warblers to arrive at Peking, 

 which it did at the very end of May. 



23. Lanius superciliosus. 



24. Lanius lucionensis. 

 These two Shrikes were first seen about the middle of 



May. They are very shy, but reconcile themselves readily 

 to captivity. 



25. Lanius tigrinus. 



Arrived at Peking in June. It was never very numerous. 



26. Ampelis garrulus. 



Waxwings were fairly numerous for about three weeks 

 from the middle of January onwards, during very cold 

 weather. They occurred in flocks of ten or twelve and were 

 very shy. I shot several inside the city, in the Temple of 

 Heaven Park. 



I did not see ^4. phcenicopterus. 



27. Oriolus chinensis. 



Fairly common. Orioles arrived at the beginning of 

 June, and commenced to nest almost at once. 



28. MUSCICAPA GRISEO-STICTA. 



Common at the end of May and beginning of June. 



29. SlPHIA ALBICILLA. 



This Flycatcher passed through Peking at the beginning 

 of September and returned at the beginning of May. It 

 keeps to the very lowest branches, two or three feet from 

 the ground, whence it takes short flights, returning to the 

 same perch. It frequently alights on the ground and is 

 distinctly crepuscular in its habits. It has a very harsh, 

 loud note. 



30. Alseonax latirostris. 



Both adults and young birds were common during August
