Elliot, Mon. Phas. vol. i.; Dresser, p. 672. 
Although this bird is called mantchuricum , and, indeed, 
there is no reason why it should not come from Manchuria, 
I can find no positive proof of its ever having occurred in 
that country. Swinhoe, when he first described the bird 
(P. Z. S. 1862) said, “if I am rightly informed our specimen 
hails from Manchuria” ; and I presume it was upon the 
strength of this same skin, doubtless brought to him by a 
native, that he informed Elliot [tom. cit.) that it was found 
in Manchuria. As specimens have since come from the 
Pe-chi-li Mountains, North China, there is every probability 
of its occurring also in Manchuria, but on our present 
knowledge it cannot be definitely included in the avifauna 
of that country. I can find no trace of Swinhoe's female 
specimen from which he originally described the species : 
it is not in the British Museum, which now contains most 
of his collection.]

Sir Evan James writes (‘The Long White Mountain/

numbers are sent to the European markets every winter, 
but these may perhaps come from Dauria.
