The Japanese representative of the Arctic Willow- Warbler, better 

 known as Swinhoe's Willow-Warbler, breeds in the Kurile Islands, 

 in Yezzo, and in the mountains of Southern Japan, migrating south-

 the Kurile Islands; there is an example in the British Museum 

 obtained by Capt. St. Jolm at Hakodadi (Seebohm, Cat. Birds Brit. 

 Mus. V. p. 43) ; and there are eleven examples in the Pryer collection 

 from Fuji-yama. 



Swinhoe's Willow- Warbler is only known to breed in Jai)an, where 

 it is common. It passes the coast of China on migration and m inters
