444 Mr. R. Swinhoe on the Ornithology of Northern Japan. 
specimen agrees with another that I procured from Amoy during 
its winter migration, and both these correspond entirely with the 
description and excellent figure in Middendorff’s work. I think 
a reference to the plate in the ‘ Sibirische Reise 9 will convince 
Mr. Cassin of the truth of my assertion; but I cannot well 
understand what induced that able ornithologist to place this and 
the following form (two such unmistakable Locustellce) in the 
genus Lusciniopsis, which Prince Bonaparte proposed for the 
reception of that delicate-footed bird the Pseudoluscinia savii, 
or Savins Warbler. 
No. 14, Lusciniopsis hendersonii, appears to answer well to my 
Locustella macropus (P. Z. S. 1863, p. 93), that being probably 
the bird noted from Amoorland by von Schrenck as the Euro¬ 
pean Locustella , of which it doubtless is the closest Eastern re¬ 
presentative. If really the same (and I strongly suspect them 
to be so), my name must sink into a synonym, and the species 
stand as Locustella hendersonii. 
No. 19, Sitta sibirica, Pallas. 
Sitta roseilia , Bp., noted by Captain Blakiston in his first list 
(p. 322), is here quoted as S. sibirica, from Pallas’s name Sitta 
europcea, var. sibirica. Mr. Cassin makes the same remark as 
Captain Blakiston does in his second paper, on the identity of 
this form with the S. uralensis , Licht. 
No. 20 , Squatarola helvetica, L., is included in Cassin’s list, as 
also is Charadrius morinellus , L. The former is well known from 
Eastern Asia ; but surely the latter must refer to the allied form 
C. mongolicus, Pall., though Cassin appears rather positive as to 
the identity. 
No. 23, Scolopax solitaria , Hodgs. 
The Snipes have been very little studied, and are not at all 
well known. The Great Snipe, procured by Captain Blakiston 
from Hakodadi, was the Australian large species Gallinago aus¬ 
tralis (Lath.), and certainly not G. solitaria, Hodgs., of India.
