through Mr. Dresser, 1861. 
Given by Herr Radde at St. Petersburg to Mr. Dresser, who kindly gave it 
to me a few days after his return from that capital. The latter understood it 
to be from Amurland, but according to the table in the former’s work 
(Reisen im Stiden von Ost-Sibirien, ii. p. 19), he did not observe this species 
there, but only on the Tarei-Nor, and this is confirmed by what is said in the 
text (p. 321). The date above given is apparently according to the Old 
Style. | 
3187. One.—< South Russia.” From Herr A. Heinke, of 
Kamuschin, through Dr. Albert Giinther, 1863. ] 
GRUS JAPONENSIS (P. L. 8. Miller). 
3188. One.—Gardens of the Zoological Society. 
I am not sure in which year this egg, long bespoken by me, was laid, 
though it was only handed over to me by Mr. Sclater in the spring of 1865, 
The White Cranes have, so far as I know, been always kept in an enclosure by 
themselves, and apart from the other Cranes. I believe that 1861 was the first 
year in which the species bred in the Society’s Gardens (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1861, 
p- 869, pl. xxxv.). ]

drilied hole.
