38 ART. 13. E. LÖNNBERG : 



female. They are also short-billed, the exposed culraen measuring 

 between 10 and 11 mm. in length. Tlie tail feathers are rather 

 long, measuring 37 mm. in the males and 35 mm. in the female ; 

 but some of the specimens oî fumigatus measured by Stejneger 

 exhibited an equal length even if the majority had their tail 

 somewhat shorter. The measurements are thus somewhat smaller 

 than those recorded by Taczanowski for the subspecies dauricus, 

 but as the throat and breast are spotted in the Saghalin birds, 

 I think they must be counted as belonging to that subspecies. 



NiKOLSKi mentions the wren from Saghalin under the specific 

 name fmnigatvs. He seems to have obtained only one specimen. 



To judge from tlie dates of the specimens collected by Pro- 

 fessor Ijima's expedition, the Wren seems to breed in Saghalin.

In 1885 when the tenth volume of the " Catalogue of Birds " 

 was issued, this swallow had been known only from Japan and 

 Borneo. In 1899 Stejneger'' mentioned it with query for the 

 Kuril Islands. In the " Handlist of Birds," 1901, no new 

 locality has been added. But Nikolski has recorded it from 

 Saü'halin as brecdinir on the rocks at Alexandrofka.
