We tite met with this bird at Chiusenji Lake, where we shot a single 
specimen. We were told by the natives that they were common at the 
lake during the summer months. 
NotE.—We saw the large black and white kingfisher, Ceryle guttata, 
at Tate-Yama up to the time we left, the latter part of December, and 
were told that they remained all winter. It is found in the wildest 
mountain streams and gorges, and is exceedingly wary. We did not 
succeed in getting specimens.

Abundant at Fuji, where their ery, ‘“‘chuck, chuck, chuck,” was con- 
stantly heard in the still evening air, and sometimes before daybreak in 
the morning. We frequently saw them flying around the lake shore at 
Chiusenji, and observed them occasionally in Shinshiu up to the end of 
October. At this time they are silent, and are only obtained by dis- 
turbing them in their resting places in the daytime.
