pure wliite, with a rather pale browuish-gvey baud across the

The Sand-Martin of southern China is intermediate be- 

 tween C. riparia and C. sinensis, having the pale upper parts 

 and smaller proportions of the latter, and a tuft of feathers 

 on the tarsus and a pectoral band as in C. riparia. It is 

 resident in Fohkien and probably throughout south-eastern 

 China, and it summers on the lower Yangtse. C. riparia 

 is recorded by Styan from the lower Yangtse and by Pere 

 David from northern China. It passes up and down the coast 

 ofKiangsu in spring and autumn, as I have specimens taken 

 on migration at Shaweishan at the mouth of the Yangtse. 

 It is common as a migrant at Chinwangtao in north-eastern 

 Chihli and appears to summer in that part of northern China. 

 C. sinensis is a resident in Formosa, but I have never seen 

 it in south-eastern China.
