182. Colnmba livia intermedia (Strict!.). 
Columba intermedia D. & O. p. 384. 
I shot a Pigeon out of a flock of C. rupestris on 21 May, 
1911. It was without any white on the tail or rump, and 
was probably an Indian Blue Rock-Pigeon. 
183. Columba rupestris Pall. 
Columba rupestris D. & O. p. 385. 
The Bar-tailed Rock-Pigeon is a common resident in the 
mountains near Chinwangtao, and probably all over north¬ 
east Chihli. 
This Pigeon was common in the mountains of the Liautung 
Peninsula in February, 1890. 
184. Turtur risorius (L.). 
Turtur risorius D. & O. p. 387. 
The Indian Ring-Dove is a very common resident a few 
miles inland of the port, frequenting the large trees round 
about the country houses and villages and the willow, 
poplar, and pine groves on the plains. A winged bird 
obtained in the spring of 1911 soon became very tame, and 
after keeping it for seven years, I gave it to a friend in 
Shanghai with my other birds. 
185. Turtur orientalis Lath. 
Turtur rupicola D. & O. p. 385. 
Turtur orientalis La T. p. 578. 
The Eastern Turtle-Dove is a very common migrant in 
north-east Chihli and appears to nest in this district. It 
passes Chinwangtao from the end of March to well on into 
June and throughout September until at least the 15th of 
October and probably later.
