in obtaining a specimen. Dr. Sclater considers that this species 

 may have been Cypselus vittatus, or possibly the large Acanthylis, 

 called by v. Schrenk A. caudacuta. The great body of the Swal- 

 lows left Hakodadi for the south before the 25th of September. 



Lanius BUCEPHALUS^ Temm. & Schl., Faun. Jap. p. 39, 

 pi. xiv. 



I obtained an adult female of this species in August ; it has 

 more white on it than that figured in the * Fauna Japonica ' 

 as a female. Mr. Maximovitch considers that he procured 

 another species of Shrike, as well as this one.

pi. XV. 



This species is not uncommon in the woods about Hako- 

 dadi. Two specimens were procured, one a female, and the 

 other young. 



Mr. Maximovitch considers that he obtained M. hylocharis, 

 M. narcissina, and M. cyanomelana, a Flycatcher with blue 

 wings and tail, figured in the 'Fauna Japonica^; and another, 

 having the back greenish brown, throat and breast brownish 

 yellow, and abdomen white. It was taken to be a female. He also 

 places a male specimen as doubtful, under the name of Muscipeta 

 principalis. 



Phyllopneuste coronata (Temm. & Schl.). Ficedula coro- 

 nata, F. J. p. 48, pi. xviii. 



This lively and delicately coloiired warbler is a common sum- 

 mer resident in the north of Japan, and may be found in num- 

 bers in the woods on the side of the Hakodadi Head. Two 

 specimens were preserved, one a male and the other probably 

 immature. 



Calamoherpe orientalis, Bp. Salicaria turdoides orien- 

 talis, F. J. p. 50, pi. xxi. b. 



This specimen is a young male obtained from a native bird- 

 catcher in the beginning of September. Mr. Maximovitch also 

 collected this bird; and it is included among the specimens from 

 Hakodadi by the United States Expedition under Commodore 

 Perry.
