6 BIRDS OF THE JAPANESE EMPIRE. 



SwiNiioE. Catalogue of the Birds of China, with remarks principally 

 on their geographical distribution. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1863, 

 pp. 332-338. 



In these pages, at the close of his article on the Birds of China, 

 Swinhoe adds a comparative list of the Birds of Amoorland^ of Japan, 

 and of Formosa. The list of the Birds of Japan possesses no special 

 interest. 



SwiNHOE, Notes on the Ornithology of Northern Japan. Ibis, 

 1863, pp. 442-445. 



This paper is little more than an introduction to British ornitho- 

 logists of the information in regard to Japanese birds contained in 

 Cassiri's account of the species obtained by Dr. Henderson at 

 Hakodadi, during the cruise of the ' Portsmouth.' 



Whitely. Notes on Birds collected near Hakodadi in Northern 

 Japan. Ibis, 1867, pp. 193-211. 



This paper is a list of birds procured during the residence of the 

 writer for a year or more (1864-1865) at Hakodadi, to which is 

 added the briefest possible notes on their habits. It forms a very 

 important addition to our knowledge of Japanese birds. At least 

 40 more species were added to the list of Yezzo birds, of which the 

 following 14 were new to Japan : —
