In Prof. Ijima's field notes it stands : " Mixed in the 

 migrating flocks of Poriomyia.^ mvgimaki (observed on the sea- 

 sliore north of Korsakoff on ^lay 30th), I liave also observed a 

 number of Xantlioinjgia nnrclmna, easily distinguishable by its 

 striking eye-brow stripe. It was nearly all gone by the following 

 day." 



Hartert says about this bird in his work " Die Vögel der 

 palœarktischen Fauna : " " Häufiger Brutvogel auf der Insel 



Sachalin" {I.e., Hft. IV, p. 491). Ntkolski says that the 



species is rather common and that it breeds at least as fjir north 

 as Alexandroflai in the green forests of river valleys, but the 

 Russian author adds that he did not find it in the eastern parts 

 nor in the interior of the island. 



The specimen is in moult. The quills of the wings, except 

 the innermost secondary which is new and black, are worn 

 and bleached. On the nape and liind neck there are also some 

 gray brown old feathers.
