We found the dipper common in all the mountain streams, but it was 
more abundant in Shinshiu than at Fuji. 
Young birds are curiously mottled all over, the under parts with 
white, dusky, and brownish markings. The throat is lighter in color 
than the breast, and is the last to assume the adult plumage. 
The back is a light chocolate brown, all the feathers being margined 
with dusky. 
The white spot over the eye is particularly noticeable in the young.

Exceedingly abundant on Fuji in June and July, breeding. Not met 
with elsewhere. 
Young of the year resemble the adult, but have the crown dusky, and 
lack the central stripe. The figure in the Fauna Japonica is lacking in 
the median line on the crown.
