"t- 204 «. Haliaetus LEUcoRYPHUs (Pall.). (Sliarpe^ Cat. B. 

 i. p. 308.) 



All immature bird in my collection was killed on Slia-wei- 

 shan in January. There is a bird in similar plumage in the 

 Shanghai Museum. 



210 a. MicROHiERAx SINENSIS, Sharpc, Ibis, 1875, p. 254. 



This species was inadvertently omitted from the list. It 

 has been found by Pere David in Kiangsi, and by Pere Ileude 

 lower down the river. I have never met with it myself, and 

 probably it does not commonly come so far north. 



280 a. Caccabis chukar (Gm.). (Grant, Cat. B. xxii. 

 p. 113.) 



A friend tells me that he shot a bird of this species on a 

 rocky hill-side below Ngankin. Unfortunately I did not 

 see it ; but he described the bird accurately, and picked it 

 out from among other Partridges when shown a number of 

 skins. I have no doubt that it was a Chukar, but whether a 

 bo7id fide wild bird or one escaped from captivity is open to 

 question. 



The bird is, however, a considerable wanderer; it is com- 

 mon in Shantung, and was found by Swinhoe on the Upper 

 Yangtse, and there is no real reason why it should not 

 exist on the lower river. Being difficult to flush, and 

 frequenting rocky hills which most sportsmen would not 

 think worth visiting, these birds might easily escape notice 

 for years. 



" 287 a. Rallina mandarina, Swinhoe. 



One in the Shanghai Museum was killed in the neigh- 

 bourhood. 



- 329 a. Tringa subminuta, Midd. 

 Obtained at Shanghai in May. 



The following supplementary remarks relate to species 

 already noted in my list : — 



Merula hortulorum (Sclater). (Styan, Ibis, 1891, 

 p. 332.) 



I have since seen specimens killed in September and April.
