ii8. ACANTHOPNEUSTE BOREALIS XANTHODRYAS (Swinhoe). 242. 



In the St. PctorHhurg Acjidcuiy ofSciencos there are three specnraeiis 

 of Miis form from the KiirilH, :ill collected by WoKiiosHciiski in 1H44, 

 two collected in nrnp, An^ust 1-5 iind \'S, Jind one in Pammushir, June 

 !i« (old Htyh^).' 



No spccinKMis of typiciil y\. hordaiis ;iie re(;orded from the Knrils. 

 The so-ciillcd MotuciUa IrochUux, which, jic(;ordin{4' to Steller, is iibun- 

 (hmt in llic KnrilK/ relens probably to one or botli forms ol' this species. 



119. TROGLODYTES FUMIGATUS KURILENSIS (Stejneger). 245^. 



This form was orif;inally described from a specimen collected by 

 ('iiptiiin Snow on Shiashkotan in. Inly, I.SHI.' On August 2 1, I8JM), I col- 

 lected two specimens,' nnile ami femah;, on North IJshishir, where they 

 were fairly common amonj;- the driftwood. The exposed cnlmen of the 

 nnile im^asures II mm., of the female, KJ mm., their bill beinjj; conse- 

 <inently considerably hirj^er than in the typicjil T.fwmlgatm. 



WlM'thei- the latter is found on the Kniils ne;ir(^st Ye/o is (piite 

 doubtful, as no si>eciinens apjx^jir to b(; in the i'ollections. 



? HIRUNDO DASYPUS (Bonaparte). 185. 



Whether this is the swallow which the Knrilians, according to Pallas/' 

 ealUMl h'ii}<( Icanii and which Snow mentions as occurring on the soutU- 

 vru Knrils is v(uy donbtful, as no specimens seem to be on re(!ord. 



120. SITTA AMURENSIS ALBIFRONS (Taczanowski). 



Heyond the specimen from the Kurds in the V. S. Nationnl Museum 

 (No. J)(>150), collect(!d by Snow and noted by me,'' nothing is known of 

 the occnrrcMice of this foiin in the- <dniin. It is probable that the Kam- 

 chiitkan Nnthatch only occur in the most northern islands and that 

 true ^'. iotiurvuKln may inhabit the large southern ones. 



121. PARUS SEEBOHMI Stejneger. 216. 



The marsh-tit collected by Snow in the Knrils (No. 157{M>, Blakiston)' 

 is now in the IJ. S. National Mnseiim (No. JXJl'tr)). 1 first I'egarded it 

 as doubtfully belonging to Tiic/anowski's /'. hr('.rir<>,stri.s," but upon 

 receiving geiniine si)ecimens of the latter, was obliged to establish the 

 .liipanese birds as /*. seehokmi.'' The exact- locality of the 8[)ecimen in 

 (piestion is unknown, but is probably Ituru]).
