 pp. 473-476 (1872). 



This note gives an account of two living specimens of Gar- 

 rulus lidthii, Bp., obtained by Cav. Botto, of Genoa, from the 

 interior of Japan, and placed in the Zoological Gardens of 

 Florence. One of these specimens died in January 1873 ; 

 the other was sold to M. Vekemans, of Antwerp. [This bird 

 is now in the Jardin d'Acclimatation at Paris.] The discovery 

 of the true habitat of this species is of much interest.
