yellow on underparts/' I conjecture it to be the species 

 indicated. If I am right in my identification, this makes 

 three species of this group from Japan. I have seen P. 

 borealis, Bias., in the Leyden Museum, from Nagiasaki; but 

 it is possible this may be the same as the last. 



Blakiston states that he has two specimens of Motacilla 

 japonica from Kamtchatka, and one Emberiza rustica. 



133. ScHffiNICLUS PALLASI. 



No bird sent. 



" I have a male specimen distinct from *Si. yessoensis, 5| x 3, 

 black on throat separated from black on head by a white line 

 from corner of mouth; nape white."

 The acquisition of the last species was needed to show how 



this species originated. I mentioned this species in my last 

 paper (Ibis, 1875, p. 451), and will now describe it. It is 

 a form of S. pallasi with Bullfinch-like bill, just as the 

 European Black-headed Bunting has a similar form (>S, pyr- 

 rhuloides) in Italy. Blakiston gives no particulars about it. 

 Length 5*5, wing 3-1, tail 4-7, tarsi '71. 



135. Ukagus sibiricus. 



No specimen sent ; but Blakiston refers to the number in 

 my list indicating this bird, writing, " one specimen, 6j x 3f , 

 ^ . Like a large edition of U. sanguinolentus. However, it 

 may only be a large race of that species, as the true U. si- 

 biricus differs in many respects of colour.^' 



He sends a specimen of Pica media from Kamtchatka, and 

 says that he has not as yet found the Magpie at all about 

 Hakodadi. 



He sends a veritable Garrulus glandarius, L., and writes, 

 " I have a Jay from Yedo, which I take to be G. lidthi. I 

 send a specimen of a Jay from amongst my collection, which 

 I imagine I must have got from you. I have marked it [A], 

 and put it in so that I may explain the appearance of the 

 Yedo specimen. The Yedo bird has the back of the same 

 shade of colour, the black dashes on the crown rather larger, 

 and the white there more pure. The tail is quite black. No
