The Spectacled or Baikal Teal is extremely abundant on 
passage. It passes from about the 10th of March to the end 
of that month, and from the beginning of September to the 
end of October.

The Common Teal is very abundant in spring and autumn. 
It passes from about the 10th of March to about the 20th of 
April, and from the beginning of September to the end of 
October. As I have seen it in the winter in the game-stalls 
in the market, it is most probable that a few winter in the 
mountains. 
This Teal was one of the commonest Ducks at Newchwang 
in 1889-90.

I saw and shot Wigeon in April 1911 and April 1913, and 
saw one shot in October 1912. It does not appear to be so 
common as most of the Ducks.

Dafila acuta D. & O. p. 498; La T. p. 584. 
The Pintail is perhaps the most abundant of the larger 
Ducks. I have seen it from the end of February to the 
middle of April, and from the middle of September to the 
end of October. 
The Pintail was with the Common Teal the most abundant 
Duck at Newchwang in 1889-90.

The Garganey appears at the end of March and during 
September. In 1913 it was seen as late as the 31st of May.
