 last year (1911). It was brought to Foochow in June from 

 the Chekiang coast, where it had been shot by fishermen.

I have a female shot near Foochow on 5 May 1906, and

 procured one specimen.

A very fine male example of this handsome Night-Heron 

 was shot near Foochow on 25 October 1911, and is now 

 in my collection. A few years ago an example was seen 

 not far from Foochow by one of the local collectors, who 

 fired at the bird but missed it. 



Brenta nigricans (Lawrence). 



The Pacific Brent Goose, which is recorded by StafF- 

 Surgeon Jones from Weihaiwei^ on the coast of Shantung 

 ('Ibis,' 1911, p. 681), must occasionally reach the Fohkien 

 coast, as I have a male example shot near Foochow on 

 4 Februarv 1912.
