Four other specimens, one male and three females, col-

 and a female example in the Rickett collection, also at th 

 British Museum, measure in the wing from 250 in.

L. styani was common at Swatow in May 1887. It fre- 

 quented the banks of the lagoons, running along these on

 bordering the lagoons. Those shot at Foochow in the late 

 spring and in autumn were found in reeds at the mouth of 

 the river. I have not met with this bird elsewhere in China.
