Notes on Corean and Manchurian Birds. 



By 



Nagamichi Kuroda, Rìgakushi. 



The following notes on Corean and Manchurian birds are based 

 in part on my own collection made during my visit to those regions 

 in April and May of last year, and in part on specimens preserved in 

 some other collections, but chiefly in the Seoul museum, in the Seoul 

 Higher Common School and in the Government Middle School at Port 

 Arthur. As regards the avifauna of Corea, I have been able to add 

 47 species and subspecies to what has hitherto been known of it, bring- 

 ing up the total number of forms in it to 361 ; and as regards that of 

 Manchuria, I have added 16 forms, which would make the avifauna 

 of that region, as known at the present, to consist of 313 forms. 



Mr. S. Shimoköriyama of the Seoul Museum, Mr. T. Mori of the 

 Seoul Higher Common School and Mr. S. Wakiyama of the Middle 

 School at Port Arthur have given me exceptional facilities in the ex- 

 amination of the specimens under their care. Messrs. U. Tanaka and 

 Y. Kuroda of Seoul, Mr. Z. Köno of Mukden, and Messrs. T. Yano 

 and K. Yamamoto of Port Arthur have all rendered me very useful 

 help to my collecting work. Messrs. T. Mori and K. Mori of Seoul, 

 Mr. Z. Köno of Mukden, Mr. S. Wakiyama of Port Arthur and Mr. 

 O. Yoshikura of Daini have presented me many valuable specimens. 

 To all above gentlemen my best thanks are due.
