of Amoy and Foochow, 
Athene cuculoides, Jerdon. 
Canton and Foochow. Very common during summer at the 
latter place. 
Scops lempiji, Horsfield. 
Canton and Foochow. Mr. Blyth observes that specimens of 
both this and the last from China are rather larger than those of 
India. 
Dicrurus cineraceus, Horsfield. 
Common in the vale of Foochow, but not found on the table¬ 
land or the hills, where D, macrocercus , Vieill., takes its place. 
CORYDALLA SINENSIS, Bp. ? 
Foochow hills. This is a smaller bird than C. richardi, with 
comparatively larger bill and legs, and I think is very likely to 
prove to be Bonaparte’s species. The distribution of colours in 
the two specimens I have is similar to that in the cognate Lark, 
which latter, by the way, varies considerably in the tone of the 
ochreous tinge that washes the plumage. 
Enicurus speciosus, Horsfield. 
Pehling hills, Foochow. I never met but one, and that 
answers so completely to Horsfield’s description in the Researches 
in Java/ that I have little doubt in assigning to my bird his 
specific name. 
PoMATORHINUS STRIDULUS, n. sp. 
This small Wren-like species, which Mr. Blyth marks as new, 
is common on the Pehling hills, Foochow, where I have procured 
however but one individual. It possesses a long rattling note, 
which it utters when disturbed in its haunts, and perching close 
to the intruder, stoops its body to its feet, and throws up its tail 
at right angles, assuming at such times much the appearance of 
a Wren. 
Upper mandible of bill brown, lower yellowish. Legs brown, 
with pale claws. Iris hazel. Upper parts olive-brown with a 
rufous tinge; the brown on the wings and tail being darker 
on the inner webs of the feathers. A white streak runs over 
the eye, and a black one under it, from the nostrils to the ear, 
which it covers. Beyond these two streaks a chestnut nuchal
