230 Mr. C. W. Campbell on Birds 



Larus ph^ocephalus. 

 Specimens are always to be seen. 



Larus ridibundus. 



Sterna caspia. 



Common all the year round. 



Hydrochelidon nigra. 



Struthio camelus. 



A fine Ostrich lived in Bathurst for years^ and I often saw 

 it, but at last it grew sufficiently troublesome to be shipped 

 off to the Jardin d'Acclimatation at Marseilles. It was 

 brought when young from the upper river by native traders. 



XVI. — A List of Birds collected in Corea, 

 By C. W. Campbell, of H.B.M. Consular Service. 



(Plate V.) 



I. Introductory Remarks. 



The collection which forms the subject of this paper was 

 made in 1888 and 1889 during my residence at Soul, the 

 capital of Corea, and at Chemulpo, the western Treaty 

 Port. 



That the list of my collection does not contain a greater 

 number of species is simply due to the fact that I could not 

 induce the native hunters to assist me, although 1 frequently 

 offered what appeared to me very tempting rewards for speci- 

 mens. I had therefore to rely solely on my own efforts in 

 leisure time. With the exception of, perhaps, half a dozen, 

 all the specimens were shot by myself. The majority come 

 from the neighbourhood of the two places where I lived — Soul 

 and Chemulpo. During an extended journey which I made 

 in the autumn of 1889 to the northern frontier of Corea, I 

 noticed several species of which I have no examples, especially 

 in the forests bordering the Yalu River, but the hurried 

 nature of my progress through that region prevented any 

 serious attempt at collecting.
