Birds of Tsu-sima, Japan. 95 



sented to the British Museum by Mr. Campbell. The 

 Corean species differs from its ally on Tsu-sima in having 

 white tips to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5tli, and 6th primaries. 



138. Iyngipicus kisuki seebohmi. 



This little Woodpecker is not uncommon in the forests. 

 Four examples vary in length of wing from 3*25 to 3'35 

 inches. 



Mr. Hoist describes the irides as rich dark red, the bill as 

 dusky grey, paler towards the base of the under mandible, 

 and the legs and feet as greenish grey. 



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

 agree with those of Japan and differ from those of Corea. 

 In the peninsula a race of Iyngipicus scintilliceps occurs, to 

 which all the examples collected by Mr. Campbell must be 

 referred, and all but one of those collected by M. Kali- 

 nowski. This exceptional skin has been recorded as Iyngi- 

 picus seebohmi (Taczanowski, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1887, p. 609). 



142. TURTUR ORIENTALIS. 



The Eastern Turtle-Dove is occasionally seen on Tsu-sima 

 during the winter. 



156. Alcedo ispida bengalensis. 



There are two examples of the Eastern race of the Common 

 Kingfisher in the collection. 



177. Panuion haliaetus. 



The Osprey is rather common on Tsu-sima. 



180. MiLVUS ATER MELANOTIS. 



The Siberian race o£ the Black Kite is very common on 

 Tsu-sima. 



187. BUTEO VULGARIS PLUMIPES. 



The Eastern race of the Common Buzzard is plentiful on 

 Tsu-sima. 



206. Ardea jugularis. 



The grey phase of the Eastern Reef-Heron is represented
