BIRDS COLLECTED IN JAPAN. 221 



Temm. and Schleg., Faun. Jap., pi. 59. 



This species, remarkable for its close resemblance to the European Emlerfca cia, or meadow- 

 bunting, was observed in abundance at Simoda. 



EMBEEIZA PERSONATA, Temminck. 



Emberiza personata, Temm., pi. col. Ill, livraison 98. 

 Temm. pi. col. 580. Temm. and Schleg., Faun. Japan, pi. 59 B. 



Like the preceding, observed in abundance at Simoda. This species is similar in some respects 

 to Emberiza citrinella, or the yellow hammer, of Europe, but is smaller and quite distinct. 



MOTACILIA BOARULA. Linnfeus. 



Motacilla boarula, Linnjeus, Mant., 1771, p. 527. 



Motacilla melanope, Pallas. 



The Gray Wagtail. 



Gould B. of Eur. II, pi. 147. 



Not distinguishable from the bird of Europe. Specimens are from Hakodadi, and are in spring 

 plumage. 



Mr. Heine mentions this bird as follows : 



" Of this bird I saw two specimens only in the neighborhood of Hakodadi, which seemed to 

 be male and female. They would not allow me to approach them closely, but I succeeded in 

 procuring one, when the other escaped. They were on the ground near a small stream of water." 



MOTACILLA LUGENS, Temminck and Schlegel. 



Motacilla lugens, Temm. and Schleg., Faun. Japan Aves, p. 60, (1850.) 



Temm. and Schleg., Faun. Japan Aves, pi. 25. 



From Hakodadi ; a species very like M. alba of Europe. 



CALAMOHERPE ORIENTALS, (Temminck and Schlegel.) 



Salicaria turdina orientalis, Temm. and Schleg., Faun. Jap. Aves, p. 50, (1850.) 



Temm. and Schleg., Faun. Jap. Aves, pi. 21 B. 



Scarcely different specifically from the European Calamoherpe turdoides. The Japanese bird 

 is, however, slightly smaller. A single specimen in the collection of the Expedition is from 

 Hakodadi. 



ZOSTEROPS JAPONICA, Temminck and Schlegel. 



Zosterops japonicus, Temm. and Schleg., Faun. Jap. Aves, p. 57, (1850.) 



Temm. and Schleg., Faun. Jap. Aves, pi. 22. 



One of the handsomest little birds of the difficult genus Zosterops, and rather strongly char- 

 acterized. The throat and inferior coverts of the tail are bright yellow, and the sides are very 

 nearly the same light fawn color which is to be seen in the Australian species. The white ring 

 around the eye is quite conspicuous. Specimens in the collection were obtained at Hakodadi. 



Mr. Heine's note on this bird is as follows : 



"The only specimen of this bird I shot in a garden at a small village on the western 

 extremity of the bay of Hakodadi."
