We found the nut crackers on Fuji at an elevation of about 5,000 feet. 
They were in small flocks of eight or ten and were quite easily ap- 
proached, having none of the sagacity of crows or jays. The natives 
give them the name “baka-karasu,” or ‘fool-crows, on that account. 
They are occasionally seen on the foot-hills at Tate- Yama in December, 
and are sometimes trapped.
