236 Air. C. W. Campbell on Birds 



18. Parus ater. 



Three examples, two males and one female, shot in Sep- 

 tember and October at Chemulpo. 



In one or two of these there is an approach to the crest of 

 Parus pekinensis. 



19. Parus atriceps minor. 



Two specimens procured in April and June at Soul, and 

 one at Chemulpo (September), differ from Parus atriceps, 

 the typical form, in having a yellowish-green mantle. 



20. Acredula caudata. 



Two females and one male from Chemulpo (October) and 

 a pair from Soul (December). 



On the two or three occasions that I observed Long-tailed 

 Tits in Corea, they travelled in bands of a dozen or so, flitting 

 continuously from tree to tree and keeping up an incessant 

 and distinctive harsh chirping note. 



21. Troglodytes fumigatus. 

 (J. Soul; 20th January. 



This specimen bears the closest resemblance to one in 

 General Prjevalsky's collection from " Chuan-che.^^ It is 

 paler than the Sikkim race, and not so rufous as the Japanese. 



The Japanese Wren is resident in Corea and quite com- 

 mon. In winter, especially, its dark plumage makes the 

 little bird very noticeable as it skims over the snow-covered 

 ground. Its note is sharp, short, and piercing. 



22. Certhia familiaris. 



A pair collected at Soul in December and January. 

 I observed the Common Creeper only in winter, when it 

 was fairly plentiful. 



23. SiTTA C.ESIA AMURENSTS. 



Two female examples from Soul ; March. 



I have seen this Nuthatch only in winter. Both my speci- 

 mens show, perhaps, more chestnut on the breast and belly 

 than birds from the Ussuri.
