CONTRIBUTIONS TO Till-: OllNIS OF SAGHALIX. 09 



Sa!;lialin of «ucli hardy birds as arc found not only in Yesso 

 but also on the opposite continent. Examples of such are Loxia 

 curviroslra,'^ Coccothrausies japonicus, MontlfruiyiUa ùrunncmucha,^^ 

 several species of Emberiza (as E. elegans, E. riist'ica, E. fucata, 

 etc.), Cyanoplila cyanomelœaa, Phœmciirus auroreus,'' Tardus 

 j)alli(h{i>, T. obscur us, Caprimulyus jotalca, etc. It seems probable 

 that at least some of these shall be found in the future in 

 Saghalin. Very likely tlie list of the birds of prey shall also 

 have to receive an augmentation. Nevertheless, the isolation of 

 Saghalin seems to have been effective enough to make its fauna 

 noticeably different from that of adjacent countries and islands? 

 even though the number of endemic races is small. 



1) Recorded even from Kamtschatka and tlie Kiirilc Islands. 



2) Recorded from the Kurile Islands al-:o.
