Birds of Foochow and Swatow. 425 



•f^ 97. Cryptolopha AFFiNis (Hodgs.). [393.] 



Two were shot in tlie Taiyang hills, west of Swatow, by 

 my shooting-boy at the end of February 1889. 



-f- 98. Terpsiphone inch (Gould). [172.] 



Foochow. Styan, Ibis, 1887, p. 227. 



Shot at Swatow in April and September. 



I never observed any white-plumaged males in the south 

 of China, but at Newchwang, in South Manchuria, they were 

 not uncommon in the gardens on the foreign settlement. 



-j- 99. Terpsiphone princeps (Temm,). [173.] 



Not uncommon about Swatow in April. I did not notice 

 this species at Foochow.

Foochow. Styan, Ibis, 1887, p. 227. 



The Swallows leave Foochow about the beginning of Oc-

 and then again on the 30th November and 2nd and 3rd De- 

 cember I saw large flights, which were evidently migrating. 



At Swatow these Swallows are common and resident. 

 They nest in the houses of the villages which are scattered 

 over the valleys and plain. In the winter I have shot them 

 on the coast, and I once met with some on the river beyond 

 Chao-chow-fu.
