60. HiRUNDO RUSTICA GUTTURALIS. 



The common saying amongst the Coreans is that the 

 Swallow comes from the south on the 3rd of their 3rd 

 months which corresponds roughly with the middle of April, 

 and leaves on the 9th of the 9th month, or beginning of 

 October. These dates are not very far out. 



61. Gecinus canus. 



Two males and a female shot in December and January 

 at Soul. 



The Grey-headed Green Woodpecker is abundant in the 

 neighbourhood of SJml. 



62. Thriponax kalinowskii. (Plate V.) 

 Picits kalinotvskii, Tacz. P. Z. S. 1887, p. 607. 

 Thriponax kalinoivskii, Hargitt, Cat. B. xviii. p. 505. 



My specimen of Kalinowski^s Woodpecker was bought in 

 the market at Soul in February. This bird is a close ally of 

 Thripofiaw richardsi, a species found on Tsu-sima, a pair of 

 islands in the Corean Strait. (See above, p. 94*.) 



I observed this bird on two occasions on some hills to the 

 south-east of Soul at an elevation of 1600 feet. It is by no 

 means rare. My failure to procure more than one example 

 was due to ill ku'k rather than to want of opportunity. 



63. PiCUS MAJOR. 



Two specimens collected at Soul correspond with the 

 Japanese variety. 



64. Iyngipicus doerriesi. 



Three females shot at Soul in December and January. 



65. Upupa epops. 



One specimen, a male, shot at Orikol in June. I also saw 

 another at the same time. 



The Hoopoe evidently breeds in Corea. 



66. COLUMBA RUPESTRIS. 



Two examples shot at Soul belong to the Eastern form of 

 the Rock-Dove, with a broad white subterminal band across
