40 TIE DEMOISELLE CRANE. 
Eastern Siberia, and more or less of Northern China, Manchuria 
and Mongolia. 
In Australia, there is the Sarus-like, native companion, G. 
australasianus. In Southern Africa we have the somewhat 
aberrant G.carunculatus, Anthropoides paradisea,and the Southern 
Crowned-Crane (Balearica regulorum), and in the north, extend- 
ing perhaps to some of the Islands of the Mediteranean, the 
Crowned-Crane (B. pavonina.) Lastly, America has three, or 
possibly four, species of true Crane. 
POSTSCRIPT.—Long after the above had been in type, Captain 
FitzHerbert, of the Rifle Brigade, favoured me with the follow- 
ing note :—“ Yesterday, August the 25th, a native brought in 
two specimens of the Demoiselle Crane, which he said had been 
killed at the Sohan River near this station, Rawulpindee.” 
Were these accidental lingerers, like the Swans (p. 44,) seen 
in July? More probably they were early arrivals, and since the 
Common Crane appears in Sindh in August, (p. 22,) perhaps 
this species also returns to the extreme western and north- 
western portions of the empire in that month.
