In this connection ] nuiy mention th;it in the first named woik 

 I find a statement that tlie phea.sants of rlishima (a small island off' 

 the coast of the province of Chiknzen, Kinshin) are the same as those 

 of Tsushima, as the result of transplantation from the latter island, 

 llino Kanroku in his ornithological work (" Yökin-]\[onogatari," 

 Narratives on Bird-keeping, written ahout 90 years ago) has also left 

 a record of the Corean pheasant being introduced and made to thrive 

 on some island off the western coast of Kiushiu (one of the Hirato 



group?).
