344 Mr. R. Swinhoe’s Notes on Ornithology 
123. Small Black and White Heron. Ardea -? 
I several times put up a small black and white Heron; but as 
I was unable to procure specimens, I cannot assign it to any 
particular species. It may have been A. goisagi of the ‘ Fauna 
Japoniea/ 
124. Intermediate Egret. Herodias intermedia. 
I saw one of this species standing in a pool in August; it was 
much larger than H. garzetta and smaller than II. alba, and had 
a yellow bill. 
125. Night Heron. Nycticorax griseus (Linn.). 
Common. 
125 a. Spoonbill. Platalea leucorodia, L. 
126. Coot. Fulica atra, L. 
Of frequent occurrence on the Yun-leang Canal. I shot one 
out of a pair. 
127. Crested Grebe. Podiceps cristatus, L. 
128. Eared Grebe. Podiceps auritus, L. 
129. Philippine Dabchick. Podiceps philippinus, L. 
130. Grey Lag. Anser f'eras, L. 
131. Bean Goose. Anser segetum, L. 
132. White-fronted Goose. Anser albifrons. 
133. Swan-Goose. Anser cygnoides, Pallas. 
It is difficult to believe that the wild bird is the parent of the 
domestic Knotted Goose, so different do they look on comparison. 
134. Small Swan. Cygnus minor, Pallas. 
135. Goosander. Mergus merganser, L. 
136. Saw-bill. Mergus serratus, L. 
137. Swan. Mergus albellus, L. 
138. Sheldrake. Tadorna vulpanser . 
139. Ruddy Sheldrake. Casarca rutila . 
140. Mallard. Anas boschas, L.
