M. OGÂWA. 



All the numerous .specimens from Tanegashima and Amami-Öshima 

 except two from the latter island, the single male from Kikaigashima and 

 one of the two specimens from Okino-Erabushima may be said to agree 

 well with Hondo specimens The three examples excepted above, as well 

 as the two from Tokunoshima, seem to agree rather with the Okinawa 

 birds. So that, if the latter be regarded as separable, the Okinawa race 

 seems to merge into that inhabiting Japan proper in Amami-Öshima and in 

 the islands between it and Okinawashima. 



The following measurements were taken of the specimens from the 

 Okinawa group :
