Calamoherpe cantillans (Temm. Sc Schl.). Salicaria can- 

 tillans, F. J. p. 52, pi. xx. 



A specimen, supposed to be a young female, was obtained in 

 the beginning of September; it differs from the plate in the 

 'Fauna Japonica' in having only rudimentary bristles. The 

 similarity between this and the preceding species is so great that 

 one may be called only a small edition of the other. 



Xanthopygia narcissina (Temm. & Schl.). Muscicapa 

 narcissina, F. J. p. 46, pi. xvii. c. 



An adult male specimen obtained from a bird-catcher in Oc- 

 tober. 



Nemura cyanura (Temm. & Schl.). Lusciola cyanura, F. J. 

 p. 54, pi. xxi. 



A male specimen, killed at the end of October. 



Mr. Maximovitch includes in his list Lusciola akahige of the 

 ' Fauna Japonica'; and Zosterops japonica was obtained at Hako- 

 dadi by Commodore Perry's Expedition. 



Pratincola rubicola (Linn.). 



The specimens are two young males, and it is impossible to 

 detect any specific differences between them and our Stonechat, 

 with which they agree exactly in markings. The bird is com- 

 mon among the low scrub in the neighbourhood of the sea, 

 during summer. Mr. Maximovitch had a Saxicola brought to 

 him for sale by a Japanese, in October, alive. He described it 

 to me as being like P. 7'ubicola, but larger, and having a white 

 band over the eye. 



RuTiciLLA aurorea (Pallas). Lusciola aurorea, F. J. p. 56, 

 pi. xxi. D. 



A male specimen of this Redstart was obtained from a bird- 

 catcher, near the end of October. I think it breeds more to the 

 north. 



MoTACiLLA boarula, Linn. 



A single specimen was obtained by myself at the end of August; 

 the sex could not be detected. Dr. P. L. Sclater, who has been 

 kind enough to examine all my specimens, and has afforded me 

 great assistance in drawing up this list, cannot detect any differ-
