teristic appearance. We also find, as Hartert did, that while most Ameri- 

 can specimens are quite like Old World examples of true riparia, some (in 

 any large series) approach ijimce. 



Muscicapidse. 



Xanthopygianarcissinanarcissina (Temm.). — Two adults, cf and 9, 

 June 3 and July 8, 1914. Sakachama and Haktshoko. 



Turdidae. 



Turdus chrysolaus Temm. Two adult males, July 6 and July 10, 

 1914. Sakachama. 



These are in the white-throated plumage, referred to by Lonnberg, and 

 thought to represent immature though breeding birds. 



Luscinia sibilans (Swinh.). — One adult cf, May 29, 1914. Saka- 

 chama. We follow Hartert in associating this species with the Nightin- 

 gales rather than with the Robin Red-breasts. If a special genus is not 

 used for it this seems to be its proper place. 



Calliope calliope calliope (Pall.). — Four adults, two males, two 

 females, June 3 to July 2. Sakachama and Haktshoko. 



These specimens are all extreme of the small race, none of them approach- 

 ing Kamchatkan examples in size. 



Sylviidse. / 



Locustella ochotensis (Midd.) — Eight specimens, both sexes, May 

 27 to June 25, 1914. Sakachama. 



Acrocephalus bistrigiceps Swinh. — Fom- specimens, all males, June 

 26 and July 8 and July 14, 1914. Sakachama and Otomari. 



Herbivocula schwarzi (Radde.). — One adult cf, July 1, 1914. Saka- 

 chama. 



Reguloides proregulus proregulus (Pall.). — One adult cf, May 19, 

 1914. Sakachama. 



*Acanthopneuste tenellipes (Swinh.). — Two adults, cT and 9, 

 May 23 and 29, 1914. Sakachama. 



Paridse. 



Periparus ater pekinensis (David). — One adult 9, May 31, 1914. 

 Haktshoko. 



Motacillidse. 



Motacilla lugens Kittl. — Five specimens, both sexes. May 6 and 7. 

 Sakachama. 



Bud3rtes flava taivanus Swinhoe. — Eight specimens, both sexes, May 

 12 to June 27, 1914. Sakachama.
