the north.” I take this to be the ordinary C. alpinus ; but it 
is not easy to make out species of Tringa without actual 
handling of specimens. 
138. ARDEA CINEREA, L. 
Immature specimen received. 
139. Eeretra mopesta, G. R. Gray. 
An Egret in winter plumage, with yellow bill, like our 
China bird. 
140. ArpETTA EURHYTHMA, Swinh. 
A female sent. 
“T have four specimens only, two females alike, of which 
I send you one. A male of this species, I think, almost cer- 
tainly, has a pure cinnamon back. Another male, evidently 
another species, general colour of the large common Bittern, 
bill not so stout as other species, and legs feathered to knee- 
joint.” This may be Gorsachius melanolophus (Raffles) . 
141. GALLINULA cHLOROPUS, L. 
“Compared with English specimens ” (Blakiston). 
142. Porzana exquisita, Swinh. Ibis, 1875, p. 135, pl. 111.* 
Blakiston sends a female, and notes that “the male is just 
the same.” 
He notes that he has another species, of which he says, 
« Another species, long toes, size about the same, bill larger. 
This may be the Pigmy Crake.” 
From Kamftchatka he has “ Anser segetum,, Spatula cly- 
peata, Anas crecca, A. falcata, A. penelope, Clangula histri- 
onica, and Somateria dispar; also Phaleris cristatella (Pall.), 
Mormon cirrhatum (Pall.), Thalassidroma furcata (Gm.), and 
Sterna?” The last he sends a bit of; but it is such a frag- 
ment I cannot make it out. 
He also notes from Kamtchatka “ Larus ridibundus. and 
L. niveus.”
