ORNITHOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS. 



places as in the skinned specimens, are the two distinct stripes on each 

 shoulder, the outer one black, the inner yellowish white, caused by one 

 row of feathers on the shoulder having the outer and inner webs thus 

 differently colored. Equally well marked is a round black spot on each 

 side of the neck, which in the skin is dissolved into a cluster of smaller 

 dark spots, but which in the living bird run together into a solid patch. 

 To the remarks of Mr. Eidgway I have nothing to add, except that 

 the individual variation is still larger in the series collected during the 

 second summer. No. 92666 is especially conspicuous for the rich deep 

 buff of the under tail-coverts and the outer rectrices. In none of the 

 specimens, however, occurs a color which, even api)roximately, can be 

 called " chestnut."

* Dr. Dybowski has committed a curious and most serious blunder by confouudiu^X 

 this bird with the Tree-pipit. He states that the latter (P. agilis) occurs on the isl- 

 ands, while of A. gustavi he says, " cette espfece se recoutre seulement h. Kamtschatka, 

 et u'a pas 6t6 trouvde sur les lies." (Bull. Soc. Zool. France, 1883, p. 361.) The fact 

 is quite the reverse.
