This paper was compiled by a special committee of the Ornithological Society of 
Japan, but it is published without indicated authorship, The ingreasing amateur 
interest in birds demands easier, more facile names for the Latin generic names 
of Japanese birds. The Jepanese names, herewith adopted as standard, are based 
on the accepted Japanese names for the dominant species in each genus,

In 1930 a emall stock of Korean ring-necked pheasents was turned loose in % 
Hidaka Provinee, dokkaido, Three hundred birds had been released ty 1933 when 
they suddenly started increasing. By 1940 their range extended to neighboring 
provinces, In 1944, when hunting was allowed for the first time, the population 
stopped increasing, and after 1945 the number of birds suddenly decreased, The 
author, en avid hunter as well as head game warden af Hokkaido, suggests that 
when pheasants were shot their enemies, such as hawks and foxes, became compara- 
tively more numerous and have put stronger pressure on the remaining stock,
