lilac underlying marks. To find two colours in the eggs 

 of a Titmouse is^ 1 believe, unusual. The eggs measure 

 0-7 X 0-55 in.

A goodly number of these birds were encountered on the 

 slopes of Fuji, where, owing to their habit of moving about 

 in company and incessantly calling to one another, it was an 

 easy species to observe. In many cases the young had flown 

 by the end of May, and on the 26th I found an old nest in 

 a bush about four feet from the ground, while two days later 

 I was shewn a second containing young and a single addled 

 egg. This last nest was placed in an isolated pine growing 

 on a piece of waste land about thirty or forty yards away 

 from a wood. 



The note of this species is different from that of A. rosea 

 and may easily be distinguished. The egg in my collection 

 measures "55 X '45 in., and is distinctly marked Avith small 

 light red spots.

This "Wren was met with in several parts of Japan, In 

 song and habits it closely resembles T. parvulus. The only 

 nest found contained young on May 18th and was placed 

 inside an old deserted shanty. Exteriorly it was composed 

 entirely of moss.
