The Siberian White Crane is principally known in Japan as a spring 

 and autumn visitor on migration, but it is probable that some remain 

 to ^viuter. It has not been recorded from Yezzo, nor have I seen an 

 example from any part of Japan, except those figured in the ' Fauna 



Grm lencixjoranus. 



Japonica/ of which there are three in the Lcyden Museum (Sclilcgcl, 

 Mus. d'Hist. Nat. Pays-Bas, v. pt. ii. p. 5). 



The Siberian WTiite Crane breeds in Eastern Siberia, and occasion- 

 ally wanders in winter as far west as Europe, and as far cast as 

 China and Japan. Its usual winter-quarters appear to be in the 

 nlains of Northern India, but even there it is said to be somewhat 

 local and rare (Hume, Ibis, 18G8, p. 28).
