244 Mr. C. W. Campbell on Birds 



74. Pandion haliaetus. 



The Osprey is not often seen in Corea. In addition to the 

 specimen obtained I saw one other hovering over the Yong- 

 heung River (at that time frequented by salmon) in Sep- 

 tember 1889. 



75. MiLVUS MELANOTIS. 



A constant resident at SJUil, where it is very numerous. 



76. BUTEO HEMILASIUS. 



A male specimen was obtained at Soul in December 1888. 

 M. Kalinowski also killed a female at Soul on 15th January, 

 1888 (Proc. Z. S. 1888, p. 454). 



The Siberian Buzzard has only been recorded once — by the 

 Siebold Expedition, fully 60 years ago — from the neigh- 

 bouring islands of Japan, and its occurrence in Corea is, 

 therefore, an interesting fact, 



77. Circus cyaneus. 



A female example shot at Chemulpo in October. 

 Near Sinil I have frequently observect the Hen-Harrier in 

 autumn, winter, and spring. 



78. Ardea cinerea. 



Common, as also is Ardea alba, of '^^'llicll I have no 

 example. 



79. CiCONIA BOYCIANA. 



$ . Soul ; 21st February. 



I also shot an example of this species at Ham-heung in 

 September. 



The Corean Stoi k is not uncommon. It is by no means 

 shy, and is easily approached and killed in the rice-fields. 



80. Ibis Nippon. 



Examples obtained in December and January at Soul. 



The Ibis is common in winter and spring. I once saw as 

 many as a dozen perched in a grove of pines, but I usually 

 observed it in dry rice-fields. It is a stupid, unsuspicious 

 bird, and falls an easy prey to the gun. The cry is a loud, 

 deep-sounding, trumpeting note, repeated at short intervals.
