90 Mr. H. Seebohm on the 



26. MUSCICAPA SIBIRICA. 



The Siberian Flycatcher is a summer visitor to Tsu-sima. 

 There are two examples in the collection, both procured on 

 the 16th of May. 



Mr. Hoist describes the irides as dull brown, the bill as 

 black on the upper mandible, and brownish black, shading 

 into yellow towards the base, on the lower mandible, the 

 angle of the gape as yellow, and the legs and feet as brownish 

 black. 



27. MUSCICAPA LATIROSTRIS. 



The Brown Flycatcher is a summer visitor to Tsu-sima, 

 A male in the collection is dated 9th of April. 



Mr. Hoist describes the bill as black, shading into greyish 

 yellow towards the base of the lower mandible, and the legs 

 as nearly black. 



28. Terpsiphone prixceps. 



The Japanese Paradise Flycatcher is a rare summer visitor 

 to Tsu-sima. There are two males in the collection, one 

 dated the 20th and the other the 31st of May. Although 

 this species passes along the coasts of South China on mi- 

 gration, it is unknown in Corea and in every other part of 

 North China. 



29. Hypsipetes amaurotis. 



Four examples of this species were shot in January, two 

 on the 7th of May, and one on the 14th of that month, so 

 that we may infer that it is a resident in Tsu-sima. It has 

 only been recorded from Corea as a winter visitor. 



32. Zosterops japonica. 



This is another instance in which the birds of Tsu-sima 

 agree with those of the Japanese islands, and differ from 

 those of the mainland. No species of this genus has been 

 recorded from Corea, 



Mr. Hoist describes the irides as light brown, the bill as 

 black, paler at the base of the lower mandible, and the legs 

 as greyish blue.
