collected in Corea. 233 



I have only seen this species in winter ; it was fairly 

 common. 



6. PrATINCOLA MAURA. 



A Chat shot by me at Chemulpo in August 1888 was 

 identified with this species by Mr, de La Touche, of the 

 Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs. From my own obser- 

 vation, and from the fact that M. Kalinowski failed to 

 collect it during his three years' residence in Corea, I am led 

 to conclude that the Siberian Stonechat is by no means a 

 common visitor. 



7. RUTICILLA AUROREA. 



A male and two female examples from Chemulpo; Sep- 

 tember. 



A constant resident at Soul and Chemulpo; very com- 

 mon. It is a fearless bird at all times, but in winter it 

 becomes almost tame. The note is clear, resonant, and 

 piping. 



8. Tarsiger cyanurus. 



Four females — two from Soul, obtained in April, and two 

 from Chemulpo, in September and October. 



Fairly common. I do not think it is resident at Soul 

 during the severe winter months. 



9. SiPHIA LUTEOLA. 



In none of my examples is there any white on the tail. I 

 have carefully compared them with examples in the British 

 Museum and in the Swinhoe Collection, and Mr. Seebohm 

 has pointed out that both Dr. Sharpe (Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. 

 iv. p. 202) and he himself (Seebohm, Birds Jap. Emp. p. 60) 

 were in error in describing both sexes of the Mugimaki 

 Flycatcher as having white at the base of most of the tail- 

 feathers. When the volume of the ' Catalogue of the 

 Birds in the British Museum' which contains the Fly- 

 catchers was published, the Hume Collection had not been 

 received, but now that it has been made accessible to orni- 

 thological students, many errors into which they had fallen 

 from lack of specimens to examine have been corrected.
