1862.] mr. swinhoe on birds from tientsin. 319 



37. Fregilus gractjlus, L. 



An immature specimen, with clipped wings. It is smaller than 

 our English specimen, and has smaller tarsi ; these may, however, 

 be attributable to its immaturity. The true F. graculus, L., appears 

 also to occur in Java, apud Moore. 



38. Sturnus cineraceus, Temm. 



39. Sturnus daubicus. Pall. 



40. YUNX TORQUILLA, L. 



41. Gecinus CANUS, Gmel. 



A female. ♦ 



42. PiCUS MAJOR, L. 



One specimen of this form is most closely allied to P. lueiani of 

 Malherbe ; but as the two examples I have, from the same locality, 

 differ a good deal in many points held to be of specific value, I do 

 not well see how the numerous variations from the normal P. major 

 throughout China can be properly identified by the apparently un- 

 stable characters pointed out by M. Malherbe. 



43. Picus HYPERYTHRUS, Vigors. 



The female specimen in this collection and a male in my own do 

 differ slightly from the Himalayan specimens : ours have more rufous 

 on the neck, and the back more banded with black and white ; but 

 the general characters are so entirely the same that I do not feel 

 justified in separating them. 



44. CUCULUS CANORUS, L. 



One skin, identical with English specimens. 

 4.5. DiCRURUS MACROCERCus, Lath. 



46. Chibia hottentota, L. 

 Very similar to Indian specimens. 



47. Lanius BUCEPHALUS, Temm. Faun. Japon. 



48. Charadrius longipes, Temm. 

 In fine summer plumage. 



49. Tringa subarcuata. 

 In fine summer plumage. 



50. Terekia javanica. 

 In fine summer plumage. 



51. Totanus FUSCUS. 

 In fine summer plumage.
