18 Mr. J. D. D. La Touche on the [Ibis, 
“ Kepoo.” So far as is known, there is but one Bustard in 
China. 
Bustards pass the port of Newchwang on migration, and 
winter on the neighbouring plains.

The Eastern Pratincole passes from the middle of April 
to the beginning of May. It is very abundant on the 
return passage from the end of August to the end of 
September. The birds generally fly in very scattered order 
and in large flocks. Solitary specimens as well as flocks 
may be seen settled on the plain and in the marshes during 
the migration season. 
This bird summers on the plains about Newchwang.

The Turnstone was obtained by the Rev. Geo. D. Wilder 
at Peitaiho, the well-known summer resort situated about 
10 miles west of Chinwangtao, in August. 
I observed this bird near Newchwang in May 1889.

Vanellus cristatus D. & O. p. 422 ; La T. p. 580. 
The Lapwing passes from early in March until the last 
ten days in April. In autumn I have seen it as early as 
the 21st of September and as late as the 9tli of November.

The Grey Lapwing is apparently not common in spring. 
At this season I have seen it on the 26th March and in 
April. On the return passage it is extremely abundant 
from the middle of August and throughout September. In 
1913,1 saw one as late as the 10th of October. Large flocks 
follow one another on suitable days, many of these settling 
for a time on the marshes or on the plain.
