I did not see these birds alive, either in the mountains or elsewhere, 
in Japan, but on returning from Tate-Yama, late in December, there 
were immense strings of them in the bird-shops near Matsumoto. In_ 
two small shops there were at least three hundred specimens, all more 
or less decomposed. I managed to secure a few for identification. We 
were informed that they had all been netted, and most of them had been 
taken at one time. 
These birds compare very well with Yezo specimens taken in Feb- 
ruary. Kurile Island birds (summer) are much darker, and have black 
bills.
