A LIST OF THE BIRDS IN THE 

 MUSEUM OF THE ANGLO- 

 CHINESE COLLEGE OF 

 FOOCHOW CHINA 



C. R. KELLOGG. 



Preface. 



The birds listed herewith are all in the Museum of the 

 Anglo -Chinese College in Foochow, and have been secured 

 within the boundaries of Fukien Province so this will serve as 

 a representative, though incomplete, list of the commonest 

 birds of the province. The classification followed is that of 

 the Museum of the North China Branch of the Royal Asiatic 

 Society in Shanghai, for most of the names were secured 

 through its published list and with the help of the native 

 collector, who is also employed by the Shanghai Museum- 

 There are still a score or more of birds undetermined in 

 our Museum and it is hoped that before long they may be 

 classified and their names added to the list so as to make it 

 as complete as possible. This does not purport to be a 

 complete list of the birds in the province for we are aware 

 that there are a number of birds reported from this region 

 whose names do not appear in this list. Corrections or 

 additions from those who have been working longer on the 

 ornithology of China will be welcomed by the writer. 



Although the actual collecting and preparation of the 

 specimens has been done by the Chinese taxidermist, 

 T'ang-Wang-Wang, the existence of the collection was made 

 possible only through the generosity of Dr. J. Gowdy, the 

 President of the College, who supplied the funds and whose 

 enthusiasm and interest in its development were untiring.
