and is common at Hakodacli. My specimen is an immature 

 male.

 The specimen was shot from a large flock on the hill-side near 

 the sea, and away from dwellings.

. This beautiful Bullfinch seems to arrive from the north in 

 October, and is much sought after by the Japanese birdcatchers. 

 The two specimens are male and female. 



Mr. Maximovitch obtained the bird figured in the ' Fauna 

 Japonica' as the Hawfinch {Coccothraustes vulgaris).

A male specimen of this rather rare bird was obtained from 

 a birdcatcher at the end of October.

The Buntings are pretty well represented in Japan, and I was 

 fortunate in obtaining several species at Hakodadi. Of this I 

 preserved two specimens, an adult male and a young male, in 

 August. A distinctive character in this bird is the great length 

 of the tertials. Mr. Maximovitch includes E. sulphurata in his 

 collection, but as doubtful.

Two specimens of this Bunting were obtained in July and 

 October, the latter from a birdcatcher. It frequented the scrub 

 on the mountain-side of Hakodadi Head, and in my morning 

 rambles in search of novelties I often met with it. It is a pom- 

 mon summer resident.

 A male specimen of this was killed in October.

The only time that I noticed this bird, I shot an adult male. 

 It is a well-marked species, but the specimen is a rather worn- 

 looking bird.
