 Scblegcl from Hondo and Kinsin, but distinguisbable from 

 it by tbe bill being decidedly thicker and on an average 

 longer. 



The type-specimen, an adult female, was obtained by 

 Mr. Teraoka at Nukadake-mura, Tsushima, Oct. 28. It is 

 preserved in my collection. 



The subspecific name is given in honour of the late Mr. M.

 shorter and under 30 mm., except only in the case of one 

 example reaching 32 mm.
