It was collected by M. P. L. Jouy, who says : — " This species probably 

 breeds on Fuji-Yama, as they were taken m June and July, but it is 

 apparently not very common. It was also found at Tate-Yama, Shinshiu,- 

 iu wintei". The male from Fuji-Yama dated June 30, 1882, had the bill 

 chrome yellow, base slightly greenish ; feet pale flesh-colour. The female 

 from Tate-Yama had the iris dark reddish brown ; bill pale yellow, base 

 slightly greenish ; tarsi and toes pale flesh-colour." 



Mr. F. Ringer's collection contained examples from Nagasaki. 



I am indebted to Mr. H. Seebohm for the loan of two (f&ndg) very 

 beautiful skins from Fujisan in Japan ; whicli are in my opinion both 

 males. 



Specimens examined. 



The figures are taken from a male, h, in my own collection, and that of 

 the female from Mr. J. Gould's " Birds of Asia."
