TITMOUSE. 251 



5— JAPAN TITMOUSE. 



Parus Japonieus, Japan Titmouse, Shaw's Zool. x. p. 55. 

 Parus palustris, Ind. Orn. ii. 566. 9. y. 

 Marsh Titmouse, Gen. Syn. iv. p. 542. 8. B. 



SIZE of the last. Upper parts of the body much the same as 

 to colour ; head black ; across the hindhead a baud of white ; beneath 

 the body dusky white. 



In a second specimen, the mark across the hindhead was yel- 

 lowish, and only the top of the head was black. 



These were in Sir Joseph Banks's Collection, and taken on board 

 a ship, off the Coast of Japan ; in many things they resemble both 

 the Cole, and Marsh Species, though not strictly either. We have 

 seen similar birds among India drawings, so may suppose them to 

 inhabit India.
