Mr. Join's collection includes three males of this species, one taken 

 at Fusan on December 5, L883, ami two taken at Deer Island, near

 in color; but a bird from Havre, France, matches them exactly. A 

 specimen from Hakodate and two from China in the National 

 Museum collection are very dark; but another from Hakodate and 

 one from China exactly resemble the Korean and European birds.

Mr. Jouy collected the type of 1 1 1 is species, a line female, at Fusan, 

 in March, 1885. 



Mr. Buturlin has very kindly called my attention to the fact that 

 this is probably the species described and figured by David and 

 Oustalet" under the name of Ptynx fuscescens. According to these 

 authors, the species lives in Manchuria, ranging south in winter to 

 central China. Pere David only met with it twice al Pekin, in the 

 coldest winter season.
