The commonest tit, abundant everywhere in the mountains, asso- 
ciating with the coal and marsh tits. 
Found breeding at Fujiin June. A nest which contained seven young 
birds was taken from an old bamboo pipe which stood in the yard of 
our inn at Subashiri. 
Young birds in the first plumage differ from the adults in having the 
entire upper parts, with the exception of the white spot in the nape of 
the neck, dull olive green; crown slightly darker. Sides of the face, 
breast, and flanks pale yellowish. Throat and middle of the belly like 
the back. The cheek patches are not separated from the color of the 
breast, as in the adult.

This bird, commonly seen in cages all over the country, was rather 
rare at Fuji, and was only seen late in the season at Tate- Yama. 
It is found in the pines with other species of tits, but is generally soli- 
tary or in pairs. Its note resembles that of the little woodpecker.
