GI8 Mr. W. E. Ogilvic-Grant on the 



Female. Total length about 100 mm. ; wing 49 ; tail 41 ; 

 tarsus 19. 



Mr. Goodfellow remarks : — '^ Tliis was another species 

 which appeared on Arizan simultaneous!}^ with Brucliypteryx 

 (joodfelloivi. During my stay there it was quite solitary in 

 its habits. At first one might be heard around the camp 

 once in two or three days, and latterly a little oftener. It 

 also frequented the bamboo-scrub, but was not averse to 

 shewing itself like Brucliypteryx : in fact, it seemed quite a 

 quizzical little creature, and often came within a few feet of 

 the entrauce to the camp. With tail cocked straight up 

 and head bent low, it scolded us in a voice like the sound 

 made by a Cicada. Needless to say, with such habits it 

 was difficult to shoot cleanly, and it was necessary to wait 

 until the bird retired to thicker cover so that there was 

 something to break the force of the shot. Its insect-like 

 notes appeals strongly to the musical ear of the Japanese. 

 The species was found right up to the summit of the 

 mountain. '^

Mr. Goodfellow i)rocured a fine scries of adult males 

 of this remarkable Bush-llobin, but only two or three 

 females. 



Among the specimens from Arizan presented to the 

 Museum by Mr. A. E. Wileman, and collected in August, 

 there are three immature exami)les of both sexes. These 

 are of special interest, as they prove that the male bird 

 assumes his chestnut-maroon and black ])lumage as soon 

 as he moults out of the spotted nestling plumage. This, as 

 shown by two males before me, is biown Avith pale sandy- 

 buff shaft-streaks dilated towards the tip. The young 

 female has similarly marked nestling feathers. 



The discovery of another extremely distinct new^ species 

 {)t lanthia in the same locality as /. johnstonia is very 

 remarkable, and its description is given below.
