Mr. C. Ingram on the 
fertile alluvial tract in the west of Feng-tien (or Liao-Tung 
Province), on the banks of the Liao Ho, and to the north 
and west of Kirin, in the region of Petuna, and where the 
Nonni drains the vast area of undulating steppes . 99 
My Japanese collector reached the Khingan Mountains on 
April 17th and stayed at a station of that name on the Trans- 
Siberian Railway until June 30th. He informs me that this 
station is the highest point on the line and is situated about 
3500 ft. above sea-level. Thence he went south to Chang¬ 
chun and afterwards to two neighbouring villages called 
Fan-chia Tun and Chu-chia Tai. He returned to Japan 
early in October. In the accompanying map (Plate VIII.) 
I have marked the places visited by him, so that they may 
be seen at a glance ; I have also shown most of the towns 
mentioned on Sir Evan James's labels. 
The works chiefly cited in my paper are Taczanowski's 
‘Faune ornithologique de la Siberie Orientale,' Mr. Dresser's 
( Manual of Palaearctic Birds,' and Dr. Hartert's ‘ Vogel der 
palaarktischen Fauna.' In referring to them, I have merely 
given the author's name, followed by the number of the 
page. Sir Evan James in his excellent work on Manchuria 
has unfortunately devoted but little space to ornithology. 
In conclusion, I must express my thanks to Mr. Alan 
Owston, who was good enough to make all the necessary 
arrangements in connexion with the expedition: while I am 
also deeply indebted to Dr. Bowdler Sharpe and Mr. Ogilvie- 
Grant for their great kindness during my work in the 
Natural History Museum, and last, but not least, to Sir 
Evan James for very kindly looking through my proof-sheets 
before they went to press.
