two examples in the Pryer collection from Yokohama (Blakiston and 

 Pryer, Trans. As. Soc. Japan, 1883, p. 165) ; Mr. Jouy obtained 

 examples (one of which I have in my collection) at Tate-yama, north 

 of Yokohama, on the autumn migration (Jouy, Proc. United States 

 Nat. Mus. 1883, p. 277) ; and there is an example in the British 

 Museum, collected by Capt. St. John at Nagasaki. It has not been 

 recorded from Yezzo. 



It breeds in Eastern Siberia, and winters in the Burma Peninsula 

 and in the islands of the Malay Archipelago. Stragglers occasionally 

 wander to Europe. 



10. MEEULA CEL^NOPS. 



(SEVEN-ISLAND OUZEL.) 



Turdus ceksnops, Stejneger, Proc. United States Nat. Mus. 1887, p. 484. 



The male of the Seven-Island Ouzel has a black head and neck : 

 the female resembles that of Merula chrysolaus, but the chestnut of 

 the breast and flanks is much deeper in colour.

 of Miaco-shima, one of the Seven Islands, about 50 miles from the 

 mainland, and about 100 miles south of Yokohama. The types are 

 in the museum of the Smithsonian Institution at Washington, and 

 there is a skin of a male in the Pryer collection. It was afterwards 

 procured by Mr. Hoist on Fatsizio, an island about seventy miles 

 further south, and a skin of a female as well as of a male from that 

 locality are in my collection (Seebohm, Ibis, 1890, p. 98).
