two alleged species. I am responsible for the error into 

 which Mr. Campbell appears to have fallen. I carefully 

 compared his Corean examples with a skin in my collection 

 obtained by Swinhoe at Niugpo and labelled Suthora ivebbicma, 

 but evidently in error. The type of Suthora ivebbiana is 

 in the British Museum ; it is labelled " North China," and 

 it appears to be identical with examples in the British 

 Museum from the province of Shensi in the lower valley of 

 the Hoang Ho, with examples in my collection from Corea 

 (the types of Suthora lonyicauda) , and with examples from 

 Pekin and Shanghai in Mr. Styan's collection. There is an 

 example in the collection of the Rev. H. H. Slater from 

 Southern Manchuria, north of Newchwang, and its range 

 may probably extend to the Ussuri valley (Taczanowski, 

 Journ. Orn. 1876, p. 19G), and even to Japan (Salvadori e 

 Giglioli, Mem. Eeal. Accad. Scienze di Torino, 1888, p. 124). 

 It is very difficult to believe that Suthora fulvicauda 

 (Campbell, Ibis, 1892, p. 237) can be a good species. The 

 types are from Chemulpo, which is the port of Soul, onlv 

 twenty-five miles from that town, whence the types of 

 Suthora longicauda were obtained. It certainly looks very 

 distinct ; the tail is much shorter and much more rufous ; 

 the head and hind neck are much less rufous ; the rest of 

 the upper parts is more rufous, and the dark streaks on 

 the throat and breast are nearly obsolete. The types were 

 procured in August, and may possibly represent the young 

 of the Soul species.

 Jutland. By Alfred Crawhall Chapman. 



As I am not aware that any paper relating to Danish orni- 

 thology has appeared in ' The Ibis ' for some years, perhaps 

 the following notes may be acceptable. They relate to a visit 

 made in May 1893 by my brother Abel and myself to the 

 west coast of Denmark, with the special object of studying 

 the marsh-breeding birds, such as the Black-tailed Godwit,
