 Ningpo to Pekin.

 p. 304. 



Corvus dauricus, Ibis, 1861, pp. 257, 337. 



Ningpo to Pekin. I cannot understand Prof. Schlegel (Mus. des 

 Pays-Bas) considering the following species the young of this bird. 

 I have taken this bird from the nest, and found the young beginning 

 life with all the pied characters of the adult. 



358. Lycos neglectus (Schleg. F. J. t. 40) ; P. Z. S. 1863, 

 p. 305. 



Corvus neglectus, Ibis, 1861, pp. 259, 337, 1867, p. 227. 



Ningpo to Pekin. This species is closely related to L. monedula, 

 but has a mnch smaller and slenderer bill, and no grey on the sides 

 of the head and neck. I have procured at Shanghai a hybrid be- 

 tween this and the last. 



359. Fregilus graculus (L.), var. brachypus. 



Fregilus graculus, Ibis, 1863, p. 95 ; P. Z. S. 1862, p. 319, 1863, 

 p. 306, 1870, pp. 434, 444. 



Pekin. The Himalayan bird has much longer feet than ours, and 

 scarcely any purple gloss on the body-plumage. Ours differs also 

 from the European species by its tarsi being a good deal shorter 

 and its toes quite stumpy. A bird from Siberia in the Cambridge 

 Museum agrees with the Chinese bird. 



360. Eulabes sinensis, Swinh. Ibis, 1870, p. 353. 

 South-west China.
