Swinhoe, R. 



Descriptions of two new Pheasants and a new Garrulax from 

 Ningpo, China. P. Z. S. 1872, pp. 550-554. 



The Pheasants are named Phasianus ellioti, from the moun- 

 tainous region of Che-kiang, and Pucrasia darwini, from the 

 same district. The Garrulax, called G.picticollis, is also from 

 these mountains.

 Dybowski between Irkutsk, Kultuk, and the Kosogal Lake, 

 in the Baikal district, and near Darasun, in Dauria, in- 

 cluding the notes of the collector on breeding, eggs, migra- 

 tion, &c. The first two parts of this very interesting and 

 valuable paper relate to 120 species. Probably new are Turdus 

 hy emalis, Dybowski (p. 439), and Pcecilia fyrevirostris , Dy- 

 bowski (p. 444) . The very interesting, if substantiated, occur- 

 rence of Turdus alicice, Baird, is mentioned (p. 440) .
