156. LocusTELLA HENDERSONii, Cassiii, Proc. Phil. Acad. 

 Sciences, 1858, p. 194. 



L. macropus, Swiuhoe, P. Z. S. 1863, p. 93. 



Allied to Sylvia locustellu, L., of Europe, but with conspicuously 

 larger feet. I have only procured it in South China in summer. If 

 ours is the same as that spoken of by vou Schrenck as occurring in 

 Amoorland in May, the summer resort of our bird will be of vast 

 extent, and it will probably be the same species found in Siberia, 

 and reported visiting the plains of Hindostan in winter. The bird 

 from Hakodadi (Japan), described by Cassin, would appear to be 

 identical with the Locustellu from Amoorland and this species. 



157. LocusTELLA MiNUTA, Swiuhoc, P. Z. S. 1863, p. 93. 



A diminutive species resident in South China, procured at Amoy 

 and Canton. 



158. LocusTELLA ocHOTENSis, Middeudorff, Sib. Reis. 



With stronger legs and feet than most species of this genus. 

 Von Schrencli considers it the same as L. eerthiola, Pall. ; but that is 

 a larger and distinct bird, with apparently a more western range 

 through Siberia. This is a summer visitant to North China, the 

 Amoor, and Japan. In South China it has occurred only in winter. 



159. Calamodyta sorghophila, Swinhoe, P.Z.S. 1863, p. 92. 



The eastern representative of C. phragmitis of Europe. I procured 

 one specimen on the 20th of May at Amoy. It would appear to be 

 a summer visitant to the South of China. No Sedgewarbler is noted 

 from the Amoor. 



160. Calamoherpe bistrigiceps, Swinhoe, Ibis, 1860, p. 51. 



Calamodyta maackii, von Schrenck, Amurlaud. 



I first procured this bird on the 25th of October 1856, and de- 

 scribed it in The Ibis for January 1860. The same species appears 

 to have been brought from Amoorland by M. Maack, and styled by von 

 Schrenck maackii, after its discoverer, also in 1860, but subsequently 

 to the publication of my name, which will hence have to be adopted. 

 I have three specimens, all from the neighbourhood of Amoy. It is 

 in South China a winter bird, returning to the north in summer. 



161. Calamoherpe orientalis, Bp. 



Salicaria turdina orientalis, Temm. & Schleg. Faun. Jap. 

 Acrocephalus magnh'ostris, Swinhoe, Ibis, ii. p. 51. 



Ranges in China, from Canton to Shanghai, as a summer bird. In 

 the extreme south a few stay all the year. Found in summer also 

 in Formosa and Japan. Is the eastern representative of the European 

 C. turdoides. 



162. Calamoherpe fumigata, Swinhoe, P. Z. S, 1863, p. 91. 

 Lusciola caligata, Licht. (Motacilla salicaria, Pall.) ?
