Frequent everywhere in the vicinity of Hakodadi, in trees and bushes, usu- 
ally several together. The voice of this species is quite similar to that of the 
Chickadee of the United States." — (Dr. Henderson.) 
8. Parus kamtschatkbnsis, Bonaparte. 
Parus kamtschatkensis, Bonap., Consp. Av. p. 230, (1850.) 
The only specimen that we have ever seen of a species allied to Parus palus- 
iris of Europe, but apparently suflaciently distinct. So far as we can judge 
from a very short description, it is the bird meant by the Prince Bonaparte as 
above cited. 
In this bird the upper .parts of the body are pale ashy, (" alho-canescens,^' 
Bonap.) paler than in Parus palustris and the tail is longer with all the feathers 
uniformly ashy brown, the edges only of the outer feathers being white. Head 
above and neck behind black, throat black, under parts white, with a very pale 
and dull. tinge of yellowish ashy on the abdomen and flanks. The black of the 
head extends on to the neck further than usual in species having this character. 
Bill rather stout. 
This species is an addition to the Japanese fauna made by Dr. Henderson. 
*' Common in the woods behind Hakodadi." — (Dr. Henderson.)

Resembling L. Savii, Bonap., Consp. Av. i. p. 288, Gould, B. of Eur. pi. 104, 
(which is Sylvia luscinioides, Savi,) and also L. fiuviatilis, (Meyer) and about 
the same size, but with the upper parts olive green, tinged with brown, and 
the under parts pale yellow, spotted on the breast with greenish brown, and 
with the sides and abdomen pale, reddish brown. Bill rather large, upper 
mandible and tip of under mandible brownish black, base of under mandible pale 
yellow; legs and feet strong; toes long; wing short, second quill longest; tail 
cuneate, dark brown ; outer feathers tipped with white. Upper parts dark 
olive green, tinged with brown, especially on the rump and upper tail coverts, 
obscurely spotted with brownish black on the head and back, line over the eye 
pale yellow. Under parts pale yellow, nearly white on the throat, with 
numerous greenish brown spots on the breast ; sides and tibire dark greenish 
brown; abdomen and under tail coverts very pale reddish brown; under wing 
white. Total length about 5^ inches, wing 2J, tail 2 inches.
