The somewhat orange-yellow patch on the bill and fore¬ 
head of this Swan does not extend beyond the nostril, 
reaching only to the posterior end of the aperture. It 
measured from the feathers on the forehead 1*4 in. in 
length. The culmen and hare forehead together measured 
4*4 in. The shape of the head is rounded, the feathering- 
stopping at a line above the eye.

I saw Swans on five occasions during March 1911, and 
the collectors saw several large parties and flocks in March 
1913, and on the 1st of April that year. Since then I have 
not noticed them passing, but most probably overlooked 
the passage. An example shot at the Hsieli Chia Ying 
marshes by the collectors was identified by Mr. Ogilvie- 
Grant as being a specimen of Jankowski's Swan. I have 
two others : an adult bird shot here on the 19th of March, 
1911, and an immature bird from Shanhaikuan, shot at the 
end of March or beginning of April 1914. 
I purchased a wfinged adult bird on the 17th of March, 
1917, which I kept in our yard until the following October, 
when I took it to Shanghai with the other Swan mentioned 
above. This bird recovered from its wound after a few 
weeks, but it was several days before it would feed. 
Eventually it took to a diet of boiled green beans and, like 
its unwonnded companion, ended by eating also the soaked 
bran and kaoliang given to the other wild fowl. Many weeks 
passed, however, before it would eat in the presence of 
anyone. The iris of this bird when it was in my possession 
was greyish, and the bird's facies was very different from 
that of its companion. The line of the forehead feather¬ 
ing was prolonged at an angle over the base of the upper 
mandible, the feathering reaching to a distance from which 
a line could be drawn through the centre of the eye, whereas 
in the other Swan, as noted above, this feathering stopped
