440 Mr. C. Ingram on the 
54. Cotile riparia (Linn.). Common Sand-Martin. 
Dresser, p. 271. 
Bianchi records the Common Sand-Martin from South 
Manchuria and is careful to mention that his example, 
killed at Yingtzu, July 21, 1901, was not C. sinensis. That 
species doubtless also occurs in Manchuria, as it is said to 
range into the Ussuri Country, while it winters in the 
Philippines, S. China, Siam, and Burma. 
55. Chloris sinica (Linn.). Chinese Greenfinch. 
Dresser, p. 284; Hart. p. 64. 
a. juv. 2 . Khingan Mts., alt. 3700 ft. May 29, 1908. 
Iris dark brown ; feet pale brown : bill brownish. 
This specimen is in its first plumage, so it is difficult to 
determine whether or no it belongs to Hartert’s subspecies 
ussuriensis. 
56. Eophona melanura migratoria Hart. Migratory 
Grosbeak. 
Hart. p. 59. 
a, b. $ . Chu-chia Tai, Kirin Province. Aug. 18 and 19, 
1908. 
This form seems to be very distinct from the typical 
Chinese bird, both in coloration and in size of bill, and is 
easily recognisable. It is surprising that it should have 
remained undescribed for so many years. 
57. Passer montanus (Linn.). Tree-Sparrow.

1908. 
d. (Tung-hua Hsien.) June 6, 1886. ( E . J.) 
Iris brown ; feet light brown ; bill blackish. 
Doubtless a common bird throughout Manchuria: it is 
certainly fairly plentiful along the Railway in North 
Manchuria.
