rare; nevertheless I have been assured by Mr. Warwick, that one ran at the Caledonian Champion meeting of April, 1860, and was marked precisely like a black-and-tan terrier. Mr. Swinhoe at my request looked at the dogs in China, at Amoy, and he soon noticed a brown dog with yellow spots over the eyes. Colonel H.

Burmese and Javanese ponies are frequently dun-coloured, and have the three kinds of stripes, in the same degree as in England. 33 Mr. Swinhoe informs me that he examined two light-dun ponies of two Chinese breeds, viz. those of Shangai and Amoy; both had the spinal stripe, and the latter and indistinct shoulder-stripe. We thus see that in all parts of the world breeds of the horse as different as possible, when of a dun-colour (including under this term a wide range of tint from

The common rat has conquered and beaten several other species throughout Europe, in parts of North America, New Zealand, and recently in Formosa, as well as on the mainland of China. Mr. Swinhoe,22 who describes these latter cases, attributes the victory of the common rat over the large Mus coninga to its superior cunning; and this latter quality may be attributed to the habitual exercise of all its faculties in avoiding extirpation by man, as

Mr. Swinhoe states that with one of the Drongo shrikes (Dicrurus macrocercus) the male whilst almost a nestling, moults his soft brown plumage and becomes of a uniform glossy greenish-black; but the female retains for a long time the white stri and spots on the axillary feathers; and does not completely assume the uniform black colour of the male for the first three years.

, as does Mr. Swinhoe, in regard to the immature males of Oriolus.38 If the young of any species in their immature plumage were more successful in winning partners than the adults, the adult plumage would probably soon be lost, as the males which retained their immature dress for the longest period would prevail, and thus the character of the species would ultimately be modified.39 If, on the other hand, the young never succeeded in obtaining a female, the habit of early reproduction would perhaps

Kaum irgend eine Thatsache in der Natur zeigt uns deutlicher, wie untergeordnet in ihrer Bedeutung die directe Wirkung der Lebensbedingungen ist im Vergleich mit der durch natürliche Zuchtwahl bewirkten Anhäufung unbestimmter Abänderungen, als die überraschende Verschiedenheit zwischen den Geschlechtern vieler Vögel; denn beide Geschlechter müssen dieselbe Nahrung consumirt 6 s. auch Mr. Swinhoe in Ibis

Weibchen nicht vor der dritten oder vierten. In der Zwischenzeit bietet es eine intcr- mediäre Färbung dar, welche schliesslich gegen ein Kleid vertauscht wird, welches mit dem des Männchens identisch ist. So erlangt ferner der weibliche Wanderfalke (Faleo peret/rhms) sein blaues Gefieder langsamer als das Männchen. Mr. Swinhoe führt an. dass bei einem Drongo-Würger (Dirrurus macrotercas) das Männchen, während es fast noch ein Nestling ist, sein weiches braunes Gefieder mausert und ein

Der weissköpfige Adler (Falco lettcuceplmlm, Vol. III, p. 210) brütet, wie man gleichfalls erfahren hat, in seinem unreifen Zustande. Einige Species von Oriolus brüten gleichfalls (nach den Angaben von Mr. Blyth und Mr. Swinhoe in: Ibis, July 1863, p. 68), ehe sie ihr volles Gefieder erlangen. [page break

. The well-known naturalist, H.M. Consul, Mr. Swinhoe, also observed for me the Chinese in their native country; and he made inquiries from others whom he could trust. In India Mr. H. Erskine, whilst residing in his official capacity in the Admednugur District in the Bombay Presidency, attended to the expression of the inhabitants, but found much difficulty in arriving at any safe conclusions, owing to their habitual concealment of all emotions in the presence of Europeans. He also obtained

any difference between the tear-stained face of a person after a paroxysm of excessive laughter and after a bitter crying-fit.15 It is probably due to the close similarity of the spasmodic movements caused by these widely different emotions that hysteric patients alternately cry and laugh with violence, and that young children sometimes pass suddenly from the one to the other state. Mr. Swinhoe informs me that he has often seen the Chinese, when suffering from deep grief, burst out into hysterical

Mr. Swinhoe says that my description agrees with what he has seen of the Chinese, excepting that an angry man generally inclines his body towards his antagonist, and pointing at him, pours forth a volley of abuse. Lastly, with respect to the natives of India, Mr. J. Scott has sent me a full description of their gestures and expression when enraged. Two low-caste Bengalees disputed about a loan. At first they were calm, but soon grew furious and

in Brazil shrugging their shoulders; but it is of course possible that they may have learnt to do so by imitating the Portuguese. Mrs. Barber has never seen this gesture with the Kafirs of South Africa; and Gaika, judging from his answer, did not even understand what was meant by my description. Mr. Swinhoe is also doubtful about the Chinese; but he has seen them, under the circumstances which would make us shrug our shoulders, press their right elbow against their side, raise their eyebrows

Arab managing his boat clumsily on the Nile, and when laughed at by his companions, he blushed quite to the back of his neck. Lady Duff Gordon remarks that a young Arab blushed on coming into her presence.10 Mr. Swinhoe has seen the Chinese blushing, but he thinks it is rare; yet they have the expression to redden with shame. Mr. Geach informs me that the Chinese settled in Malacca and the native Malays of the interior both blush. Some of these people go nearly naked, and he particularly
