23. Zoslerops japonica insularis, subspnov. 



(Shima-mejiro). 



In Tane<rashima and Yakushima a large number of this form was 

 obtained in the months of October and November. They seem to be 

 ver)' common on the islands. In Yakushima some of the specimens were 

 obtained at an altitude of i665 — 2000 m. above sea-level. For the list of 

 specimens, see below. 



The form most nearly resembles Z. japonica of Hondo but may be 

 subspecifically separated from it on the ground that the bill, as measured 

 along the culmen, is constantly decidedly longer (longer by I — 3 mm.). 

 Moreover, the wing also is slightly longer on the average, the yellow of the 

 throat is of a brighter or a more intensive tone though in varying degrees
