Mr. J. D. D. La Touche on the 
-+ 157. Falco tinnunculus saturatus Blyth. 
I have a female of this Kestrel shot at Foochow on the 
7th November, 1896. Our collectors shot a male, now in 
RicketPs collection, in the gorges of Wu Yi Shan. 
We saw in this locality Kestrels which were evidently 
breeding in holes in the face of a cliff, and I have no doubt 
that these birds were of the same race as the one shot by our 
men. Unfortunately the birds were circling about the head 
of the cliff quite out of range, and their nesting-place was 
also out of reach. 
A series of Kestrels collected by me at Foochow and 
Amoy shows great variety in point of size and depth of 
colouring. Kestrels do not remain at Foochow to breed. 
158. Microhierax melanoleucus Blyth. 
One shot in a wood in the Kien-yang district on the 22nd 
March, 1898, during our journey up river. 
The stomach contained butterflies and what seemed to be 
bees. This specimen has the white spot apparent only when 
the feathers are raised. 
+ 159. Butorides javanicus (Horsf.). 
Our collectors told us that they found this species breeding 
at Shao-wu-fu. 
+169. kEx GALER1CULATA (L.) . 
Common on the river in the Kien-ning-fu district. 
+161. Clangula glaucion (L.). 
A few obtained in winter near Shao-wu-fu. 
+ 162. Mergus merganser L. 
Common on the rivers of N.W. Fohkien. 
163. Turtur rupicola (Pall.). 
Fairly common about Kuatun. 
+ 164. Macropygia tusalia (Hodgs.). 
This handsome Cuckoo-Dove passes the summer at Kuatun, 
where, however, it seems to be rare and not often obtained. 
The three examples that we have were shot on Mount David 
in May 1897 and on the 23rd April, 1898. The soft parts &c.
