One specimen only, shot in a plantation near Hakodadi, 

 November 28tli, 1865.

 claws black. 



37. Lanius BUCEPHALUS, T. & S., Faun. Jap. p. 39, pi. 14; 

 Blakiston, Ibis, 1862, p. 317. 



My two specimens of this bird were shot in an orchard at 

 Hakodadi, on June 1st and July 2nd, 1865, respectively. It is 

 not a common bird here, as I observed but five specimens. 



Length 7"5 in., wing 3*5 in. Bill bluish horn-colour ; eye 

 dark brown ; legs and toes bluish-black. 



38. CoRvus jAPONENSis, Bp., Consp. Av. i. p. 386 ; Corvus 

 macrorhynchus, T. & S., Faun. Jap. p. 79, pi. 39 b ; Blakiston, 

 Ibis, 1862, p. 325. 



Many specimens of this bird were obtained at Hakodadi. It 

 has more the appearance of a Raven than of a Crow, but congre- 

 gates in flocks. It is a frequent visitor to the fishing-villages 

 on the coast, no doubt attracted by the refuse of the fish, which 

 is deposited on the shore by the fishermen.

 This bird is common in the woods near Hakodadi, and I

 closely resembles the S. vulgaris of Europe, but the call-note is 

 different.
