There are two examples from Amoy in the Swinhoe collection, one dated February, the other April; there are also two examples from Hakodadi in the same collection pro- cured in winter. I have a third example from Hakodadi collected by Mr. Henson on the 22nd of February, and there is one in the Pryer collection from Sarushima. It was originally described from Nagasaki. Temminck's Cormorant is a very distinct species. It is a Cormo- rant, having fourteen tail-feathers, but in some respects it resembles a Shag; the scapulars and wing-coverts are bronzy green (not bronzy brown as in the Common Cormorant). The gorget of the latter species is white, but that of Temminck's Cormorant is profusely streaked with greenish black, Temminck's Cormorant is slightly the larger bird, and immature examples of the two species may be p.
