no. 1727. BIRDS OF THE 1906 "ALBATROSS' 1 CRUISE— CLARK. 27 



At 8.05 the next morning we were again underway, and proceeded 

 south, arriving in Hakodate, Japan, at 11.53 on June 27. On July 

 5 we made a short trip to Mororan for coal, returning on the 7th; on 

 the 16th we left Hakodate for the Japan Sea, where we stayed 

 nearly a month, calling in at an anchorage 2 miles north of Kodomari 

 (July 16), Ebisu Byochi, Sado Island (July 18), Nanao (July 20), 

 Tsuruga (July 23), Saigo Minato Harbor, Oki Islands (July 25), 

 Matsushima (July 28), and Nagasaki (August 3). From Nagasaki 

 we went southward among the Linschoten Islands, as far as lat. 

 29° 51' 00" N., long. 131° 02' 00" E., thence north to Kagoshima, 

 where we arrived on August 17. From Kagoshima we went eastward 

 along the southern Japanese coast, calling in at a harbor near Wado 

 Misaki light (August 24), and going through the Inland Sea to Kobe, 

 where we arrived on the 25th. We left Kobe on the 27 th for Yokohama, 

 calling at Yura-no-Uchi (August 27) and Oshima Ko (August 28, 29, 

 and 30), and arriving on September 2. We left Yokohama on Sep- 

 tember 14, called in again at Hakodate on the 17th, at Iwanai, in 

 Iwanai Byochi, on the 19th, at Otaru on the 20th, and on the 24th 

 reached Korsakoff, Sakhalin, where I had a morning ashore. Before 

 calling at Korsakoff we went up the west coast of Sakhalin (Gulf of 

 Tartary) as far as lat. 47° 39' 00" N., which point we reached on 

 September 23. From Korsakoff we went up the east coast of Sakhalin 

 as far as Cape Patience ("Terpenia") (September 27), then across 

 the Okhotsk Sea to the southernmost Kurds, and down the coast of 

 Yezo to Hakodate, which we reached on October 4. From Hakodate 

 we went south along the east coast of Hondo, anchoring off' the 

 village of Kugunari, To Shima peninsula, on the night of the 9th, and 

 reaching Shi mid zu in Suruga Gulf on the 12 th. We worked in this 

 vicinity until the 18th, returning to Shimidzu every night; on that 

 date we left, cruising about to the southward until the 21st, when 

 we called at Monagawa village in Fuki Ura, Sagami Kai. We worked 

 about here, returning every night until the 25th, when we left for 

 Yokohama, anchoring that night in Kaneda Bay, and reaching the 

 Yokohama light-ship the next evening. On November 10 we left 

 Yokohama for Honolulu, arriving on the 24th after a fifteen days' 

 trip, and proceeding on December 2 to San Francisco, where we 

 dropped anchor on the evening of the 10th. 



A preliminary paper dealing with the new forms which I detected 

 among the material studied in connection with this report was pub- 

 lished in these Proceedings, vol. 32, pp. 467-475. In that paper 1 

 took occasion to call attention to the peculiarities of that curious 

 finch, the Emberiza variabilis of Temminck, by erecting a new genus, 

 Tisa, for its reception, a course long ago suggested by Doctor 

 Stejneger. a
