Throughout South China, Formosa, and Hainan in winter ; breeds 

 in North China (Talien Bay). Chinese birds agree with the Euro- 

 pean. The race found in Bengal is smaller, and is probably the JE. 

 minutus (Pall.). JE. intermedius ( Menetries) appears to be a lesser 

 form of JE. hiaticula (L.) with more slender bill, which sometimes 

 occurs in England, and is considered by many to be merely the latter 

 species not fully developed. JE. pusillus (Horsf.) of Java and JE. 

 philippinus (Lath.) of Luzon I take to be the same as our bird ; as 

 being only winter visitants to the archipelago, they would naturally 

 be the species that passes our coast in spring and autumn.
