Very common in the meadows around Fuji. They are rather shy in 
their habits, the males mounting the tops of the long grass and disap- 
pearing on the other side. I did not succeed in getting any females, and 
judge that they were all in the nests at that time.

Very common at Fuji-Yama, where it was breeding in July. We had 
a nest of this bird brought to us which contained three eggs. They are 
plain bluish white in color, without speckling, and measure about 13.5"™ 
by 17™™, The nest is a beautiful structure, composed entirely of moss
