XVII. — Further A^otes on the Birds of Tsu-sima, Japan. 

 By Henry Seebohm. 



In the last number of ' The Ibis/ pp. 87-99, mention was 

 made of fifty-uiue species of birds of which specimens had 

 been obtained on the island of Tsu-sima, in the Corean 

 Straits. 



Mr. Hoist has sent me a second box of birds from that 

 island, which eiuibles me to add five more species to the list 

 and to give some additional information concerning a sixth. 

 As in the previous paper, the numbers placed before each 

 name are those used in my ' Birds of the Japanese Empire.' 



39. ACROCEPHALUS BISTRIGICEPS. 



An example of Sehx'enck's Reed-Warbler^ shot on the 

 24th of October, was probably passing through on migration. 



132. PiCUS RICHARDSI. 



Mr. Hoist was many months on the island before he 

 succeeded in obtaining examples of this interesting species, 

 but at last he procured two fine males. After repeated 

 inquiries of the native hunters, he at length learnt that they 

 were to be found on a mountain about nine miles from 

 Kechi. As the name of the mountain is 0-yama-nmra, and 

 the north point of the north island is marked Tojo-mura in 

 the map, it is probably in the north island,'' yama " being the 

 Japanese term for mountain. Mr. Hoist started early on the 

 15th of October in the company of a native hunter for the 

 moimtaius, and succeeded in shooting a nuile of this Wood- 

 pecker on the IGth. The female was seen by the hunter, 

 but was not ol)tained. Tlie birds are said to be very rare
