Abstract
THE present part of Mr. La Touche's “Birds of Eastern China” contains the Families Ploceidae, Fringillidae, Bombycillidse, and Hirundinidse, the sequence adopted by the author being the same as that in the new edition of “The Avifauna of India.” The present part nearly concludes the true passerine birds, and we understand that Part V. will include the remaining Passeres and, we hope, the Pico-Passeres, containing the Woodpeckers, Barbets, and other forms very richly represented in China.
