24. Small Grey Flycatcher. Butalis latirostris (Raffles). 
A male shot in May. It is precisely the same as the bird 
that passes up and down the China coast on its vernal and 
autumnal migrations. 
25. Narcissus Flycatcher. Xanthopygia narcissina (T. 
&S.). 
A male procured in May. This species is very abundant 
in South China during its migrations, but passes away in a 
few days. The summer visitant at Ningpo and northwards 
in China is the white-eyebrowed species, X. tricolor , (Hartl.), 
with the yellow-rumped female, which stays and breeds. The 
present species with the yellow eyebrow, and the female with 
whole-coloured back ( Muscicapa hylocharis, Faun. Japon.), 
we know, summers in Japan—I think, in the Corea also. 
26. Carrion-Crow. Corvus corone , L. 
The specimen shot is a male, shot in May. Its large size 
made me at first rather doubtful as to its species; but Mr. 
Sclater, who kindly undertook to compare the specimen, con¬ 
firms me in the present identification. It measures about 
20| inches in length, wing 14tail 8|, tarse in front 2*2. 
Mr. W. Whitely brought home from Hakodadi a female, 
shot on the 22nd October, of the same Crow. The occurrence 
of this he neglected to insert in the list of birds from North 
Japan that he published in 'The Ibis/ I have since pro¬ 
cured his specimen. It measures only 12J in the wing, with 
a tail of 8 inches, the outer rectrix being one inch shorter 
than the centrals; tarse in front 2 inches. 
This species has not occurred in China from the island of 
Hainan to Peking, except at the small island of Narchow, 
near Hainan; its place in China, Hainan, and Formosa, so 
far as yet explored, being found to be occupied by the large¬ 
billed, green-glossed Corvus sinensis of Gould. 
27. Greyish Starling. Sturnus cineraceus, Temm. 
A male shot in April, and a female in May. Identical with 
the bird found in China. 
28. Red-cheeked Small Starling. Sturniapyrrhogenys 
(T. & S.). 
Male and female procured in May, and in fine breeding-
