89. TlJRTUR RISORIUS. 



During November I saw two individuals of this species, and 

 shot one, a few miles south of Peking. I never saw it again; 

 there certainly were none during the winter, and in the 

 spring I had very few opportunities of collecting at any 

 distance from the city. 



90. TlJRTUR ORIENTALIS. 



Very common after March. I think that a few indi- 

 viduals of this species remained at Peking during the winter. 

 On several occasions during the severe weather I saw a Dove 

 that looked like T. orientalis, but was unable at the time to 

 procure a specimen. 



91. PUCRASIA XANTHOSPILA. 



A few of these Pheasants were exposed for sale in the 

 market in January and February. 



-f~92. Phasianus torquatus. 



There were very many of these birds in the markets 

 during the winter. Most of them came from the " Western 

 Hills." I saw one wild at a place about ten miles from 

 the city. 



93. COTURNIX JAPONICA. 



Very common during the whole time that I was at Peking, 

 except for about four weeks in the middle of winter, when 

 the ground was covered with snow. I shot several examples 

 in the Temple of Heaven Park. I kept one in a cage for 

 some time, but never heard it utter a sound. 



94. Caccabis chukar. 



I saw two or three Chukors in the market during the 

 winter. 



95. TURNIX BLANFORDI. 



I shot two specimens of the Burmese Button-Quail in 

 the Temple of Heaven Park in June. 



96. PORZANA PUSILLA. 



I obtained one specimen, in May, of the Eastern Baillon's 

 Crake. This bird, like its congeners, is such an inveterate 

 skulker that it is hard to say whether it is common or not.
