I'li'lius received this si)ecies iVom tlie Kuril islands, eollected by- 

 Merck; Wosnossenski obtained it in IJrup, one of tlie specimens now 

 beinji' in the Seel)()lun collection with two others collected in the ivurils' 

 by Snow. ye(d)ohnr- calls it a rare winler visitor to the Knril islands, 

 but 1 think he is mistaken and that the bird breeds there. I saw 

 nnnuuons specimens on Srednoi VUxi Rock and on the bciich of North 

 llshishiron Anyiist 21, ISDO. A bird of the year was secured and is 

 now in tiie U. S. National Museum (No. l.m'Wa).

 The specinuMi is nlmost certainly from one of the southern islands, most 

 likely IVom iturup.
