99 
mens killed south of the Philippines — over two dozen in number — are in

Except that Mr. Whitehead — 
- to whom ornithologists are indebted for 
many useful observations on migration in Borneo 
— marks N. scutulata as a 
migratory visitor to Palawan (h 7), in addition to 
supplying dates pointing to 
the same condition in Borneo, where 
Dr. Sharpe 
had already expressed the 
opinion that it was a migratory bird 
(P. Z. S. 1879, 
325), there apjrears to exist 
no statement based on direct observations of the migration of this species in the 
East Indian Archipelago, where observations on migration have been as yet 
generally neglected by all travelling naturalists. In China and Japan this is 
happily not so much the case: Mr. Campbell speaks of it as a summer visitor 
to Corea (c Mr. Sty an as a breeding summer visitant to the Lower Yangtse 
Basin {h 9)-, Mr. De La Touche as a species “not uncommon in May” at Foochow, 
and “rather common at Swat ow in April”, (h 10), thus, presumably, for the mos
