t (245£) Troglodytes fumigatus kurilensis, eubsp. nov. 



■T, Blakiston and Puyeii, Trans. As. Soc. Jan., x, 1882 d 



Kuril Wren 

 1882.— Troglodytes 



JG0.— Blakiston, Amend. List B. Jap., p. 56 (1884)" 



Diagn .-Similar to Troglodytes fumigatus, but somewhat larger, bill 

 and feet being particularly large. 



Dimensions (of type).-Wing, 66— s tail-feathers, 37-: exposed 

 culmen, 14"-; tarsus, 19.5- ; middle toe, with claw, 19— 



Habitat.— Shiashkotan, Kuril Islands. 



TYPE.-U. S. Nat. Mus. No. 9G259, H. J. Suow, coll., July, 1881. 



It has been suspected that this bird might turn out to be the same as 

 my T. pallescens from the Commander Islands, but a direct comparison 

 shows that they have nothing in common except the size. My remarks 



ZuT t7 .f amtSch " /• 293 > in re ^rd to T. fumigatus apply equally 

 well to T. kurilensis, as far as coloration is concerned. The last-men- 

 tioned two forms agree in color, T. Jcurilensis being perhaps a trifle paler 

 on the middle of the fore neck. 



Shiashkotan is one of the northern islands of the Kuril chain, its 

 position being 48 o 50' N. lat, l W o 5/ E. long. It consists of two Vol- 

 canic peaks about 3,000 feet high, and hot sulphur springs are said to 

 occur The habitat of this form is therefore not unlike that of T. 

 borealts 111 Iceland.
