typical Kiiisiu form (kizidi) bj^'the lon<,'ei' wiiip:, and to be uearer to the 

 Tsushima example (kotataki) than to the Kiusiu form. Further material 

 is needed before these questions can be settled. 



70. Thriponax richardsi (Tristram) . 



Mr. Teraoka fortunately shot a fine pair of this sph'iidid 

 Woodpecker at Nita-mura, Tsushima, Oct. 9. They measured 

 as follows : — 



I have compared these specimens with four examples from 

 Corea, and have found that there is no tangible difference 

 between them. Messrs. Namiye and Tsuchida obtained it 

 fiom Tsushima (Ijima, pp. 116-121). Seebohm mentioned 

 it from the same islands (Ibis, 1892, p. 94). It is very rare 

 iu the forests of the islands. 



*71. lynx torquilla japonica Bonaparte. 

 One female was collected by Mr. Teraoka at Waniura, 

 Tsushima, Oct. 12. The wing measures 80 mm. 



72. Pitta nympha Temminck. 



Hoist (iSeebohm, Ibis, 1892, p. 94) obtained this bird from 

 the Tsushima Islands, and Jouy (Clark, /. c. p. 160) also 

 collected it from the same islands, 8 June, 1885. This is 

 probably a rare spring or summer visitor to the islands. 



*73. Alauda arvensis japonica Temm. & Schl. 

 A specimen is in the Tsushima Middle School. The Lark 

 is undoubtedly a rare bird in the islands.

One male specimen was shot by Mr. Teraoka at Nita- 

 mura, Tsushima, Oct. 16. Exposed culmen 11mm., wing 

 111*5 mm., tail 64*5 mm., tarsus 21 mm. It is no doubt 

 an accidental straniiler to the islands.
