observed in the Vicinity of Wei Hai Wei. 
as late as June 8th. These birds are found returning about 
the middle of September. On the autumn migration the 
birds appeared to be in small parties or in pairs, and their 
numbers were not so obvious as in the spring. 
Phylloscopus superciliosus. 
The Yellow-browed Warbler was observed on Leu Kung 
Tao on August 17th, on its way to the south of China. 
Phylloscopus coronatus. 
This Willow-Warbler occurs at Wei Hai Wei during its 
southern migration. It was observed in September. 
Parus minor. 
The Japanese Tit is moderately abundant about Wei Hai 
Wei. These birds are usually to be seen in pairs or in 
small parties, and they behave just as most other Tits do 
elsewhere. 
The nest is placed in a hole in a tree or in a crevice in a 
wall, and is much like that of Parus major. The eggs from 
Shantung have very reddish markings in the few known 
specimens. 
The local Chinese name “ Chi-ta-chi ” gives an excellent 
idea of the call-note. 
Parus palustris. 
The Marsh-Titmouse was observed on the mainland 
opposite Leu Kung Tao in company with Parus minor ; it is 
not at all a common bird. 
Motacilla leucopsis. 
The White-faced Wagtail is a common summer visitor to 
Wei Hai Wei, and probably arrives early in April. The 
birds leave again about the latter part of September, during 
which month their numbers are largely augmented by those 
coming from further north. During August and September 
the family-parties, which are so commonly to be seen on the 
sea-shore earlier in the summer, join up to form flocks of 
considerable size, and it was not noted that on migration 
young and old birds were separated.
