Found in Shinshiu as late as the middle of December. They frequent 
marshy places, the banks of streams, or any soft boggy ground, but are 
not found in paddies. They resemble the woodcock in their habits 
more than the true snipe.

A single specimen of this bird was collected at Chiusenji Lake in 
September. Unfortunately it was so badly shot that it could not be 
preserved; the head and legs only being saved for identification.

We did not meet with this bird in the interior in a wild state, but they 
undoubtedly occur there, as a specimen was obtained from a bird shop 
at Matsumoto.
