238 Mr. C. W. Campbell on Birds 



27. Oriolus diffusus. 



Three examples (two males and one female) from Che- 

 mulpo, obtained in June and July. 

 A summer visitor. 



28. CORVUS MACRORHYNCHUS JAPONENSIS. 



The Common Crow of Corea. 



29. CoRVUS COKONK. 



An example from Soul. 



The Carrion Crow is frequently seen in company with 

 Corvus macrorhynclms, 



30. Corvus pastinator. 



In the neighbourhood of Soul I have observed flocks of 

 Rooks only during the severe winter months. In large 

 flocks I always saw numbers of a smaller and white-breasted 

 species, which I took to be Corvus dauricus. I frequently 

 tried to obtain a specimen, but was always baffled by the 

 wariness of the bird. Both it and Corvus pastinator were 

 highly suspicious of my European shooting-costume, and I 

 had always to don a Corean robe (a white flowing garment 

 and very conspicuous) before I could approach them. 



31. Cyanopolius cyanus. 



One example, shot at Tai-pS'ong, a town twenty-five miles 

 east of S(>ul. 



The Blue Magpie is well known to the Coreans, who call 

 it the Tai-ka-chi, or Great Magpie. I observed it frequently 

 in autumn and winter. 



32. LaNIUS MAGNIROSTRIS. 



I shot a pair of this species, which was rare in my expe- 

 rience, in May 1888 near Soul. 



33. LaNIUS BUCEPHALUS. 



A male example, shot in the grounds of H.B.M. Consul- 

 Geueral at Soul in March. 



The Bull-headed Shrike is not a common bird in Corea.
