186. Phalacrocorax bicristatus (Pall.). 
Carbo violaceus, Grnel. 
C. bilophus , Brandt. 
This is an inhabitant of Karatschatka and Japan, and has 
been ably described and figured in the ‘ Fauna Japonica.' Oc¬ 
casionally during winter a specimen gets blown down to our 
northern coast, but it ought hardly to be numbered among the 
Pormosan birds. 
187. Querquedula circia, L. 
A male of this Teal was brought to me alive on 13th March 
at Tamsuy. “ Bill light olive-brown, blackish brown underneath, 
on the edge round and on and about the dertrum. Iris burnt 
sienna. Legs ochreous grey, with browner webs and claws.” It 
is a brightly tinted specimen. The whole of the belly is deeply 
stained with orange-ochre, as I have before observed in specimens 
of Q. crecca shot at Amoy. This was the first time I met with 
this Duck in China. Our other Ducks are the following:— 
188. Querquedula crecca, L. 
V 189. Querquedula glocitans, Pall. 
190. Querquedula falcaria, Pall. 
191. MaRECA PENELOPE, L. 
192. Dafila acuta, L. 
193. Anas boschas, L. 
194. Anas pcecilorhyncha, Pennant. 
195. Spatula clypeata, L. 
196. Tadorna yulpanser, Plem. 
197. Casarca rutila, Pall. 
198. PuLIGULA MARILA, L. 
199. Fuligula cristata, Ray. 
200. Clangula glaucion, L. 
1 201. Mergus serrator, L. 
There are, doubtless, other species comprised in the immense 
flocks of Anatida that spread down our shores during winter.
