We found this beautiful pigeon tolerably abundant at Fuji, but ex- 
ceedingly shy. They were feeding almost entirely at that time on wild 
cherries. We observed them in Shinshiu as late as October 26. They 
are sometimes caught in that province in the nets described under the 
heading of Hypsipites amaurotis.
