Greylag Geese were abundant on the Yangtse, in the 

 Chinkiang district, during the winter 1908-09, and several 

 were shot by the foreign residents, generally from a steam- 

 launch. On one occasion a flock of these Geese, which was 

 resting on the river, allowed a large passenger launch which 

 had our houseboat in tow to approach within gunshot, and 

 we secured two out of the flock at fair range.
