In all the specimens the toes are decidedly darker than the 

 very pale tarsus. The yellowish or buffy Avash of the lower 

 parts is of rather variable shades in different specimens. 



NiKOLSKi found this bird only in the western parts of 

 Saghalin (Taczanowski). It is certainly a breeding resident.

The length of wing in this specimen is 55 mm., which is 

 longer than Taczanowski has quoted (52-53 mm.) ; but in the 

 " Catalogue of Birds " still larger measurements are given, viz., 

 *'2.4 to 2.25 inches." 



The species has not been mentioned by Nikolski, but it 

 certainly breeds in the island, since Pj'ofessor Ijima's expedition 

 obtained a nest containing 6 eggs at Tretiya Padj on the 4th of 

 July.
