0-86 x 0-56", and the shortest 077x054". In diameter 

 they range from 0-52" to 0-60". 



103. Ampelis japonicus (Siebold). 

 Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 351. 



This Waxwing passes Chinkiang on migration in May, 

 when I procured several examples from the bird-catchers, 

 who take them with bird-lime. I kept one of these alive for 

 several months. I have not seen the bird at any other time.

Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 342; La Touche, Ibis, 1899, 

 p. 412 ; La Touche & Rickett, Ibis, 190."), p. 46. 

 Abundant in March. It appears again in September. 



105. Motacilla ocularis Swinhoe. 

 Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 343. 



Abundant in spring. One year, on March 16, I saw a 

 great number, which had evidently just arrived. Many 

 were perched on trees at the edge of a field. The birds 

 are also very common in October, and a few are to be 

 found during winter. 



106. Motacilla lugens Kittlitz. 

 Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 343. 



I have noticed a fair number of these Wagtails on 

 marshy fields, chiefly in spring. 



107. Motacilla melanope Pall. 

 Styan, Ibis, 1891, p. 343. 



Common in spring and autumn. Specimens shot in April 

 and May were all in full breeding-dress. 



108. Motacilla borealis Sund. 

 Styan, Ibis, ]891, p. 343. 



I shot one example in breeding-dress on April 20. I did not 

 meet with any large flocks of Wagtails of the Budytes group 

 at Chinkiang. Three individuals seen in May perched on a 

 tree by a small marsh and a few noticed in fields at the end of 

 September and in October are, besides the above-mentioned 

 bird, all that I have observed. No doubt M.jiuva, M. borealis,
