material difference on the underparts.” There can be no 
doubt from his description that this is only Garrulus japo- 
nicus *, and the larger bird, whose origin he cannot account 
for, an ordinary English Jay, put into his collection by Mr. 
Whitely before he left home for Japan. 
He mentions a specimen from Yedo which he identifies 
with Tnrtar janthina, T. & S. But he describes it as “in co¬ 
lour like T. humilis $, but much larger. Length about 12, 
wing 7. Delicate neutral tint on shoulder of wing.” It is 
easy to see that he refers to the well-known Barbary Dove, 
Turtur risorius , which has not yet been recorded from 
Japan; but as we are on the birds of Northern Japan, we 
will not give it a number. 
He sends a specimen of Vanellus crist atus, T^hich is also 
not from Northern Japan, though probably found there as 
well. 
From Kamtchatka he records Totanus glareola , T. glottis , 
Tringoides hypoleucus. No specimens sent. 
136. Numenius australis. 
He sends a male of this species, and gives as measurements 
of the fresh bird 21fx Ilf, bill along culmen 3f. He also 
gives the measurements of a female, 22J x Ilf, bill 3|. 
137. Numenius major, T. & S. 
He has not sent this; but from the measurements he gives 
I take it to be this species, “ $ , 25 x 12, bill 8.” 
He sends a specimen of Strepsilas interpres (L.) from the 
neighbourhood of Yedo. 
“ Tringa damacensis, from near Yedo, seems larger than 
China specimens. Length 10J, wing 5f, bill 1 j. Black on 
breast in a large patch. I have never seen this bird from 
* I will here add Bonaparte’s description of Garrulus lidthi from the 
‘ Consp. Av.’ (p. 376):—“ Rufo-vinaceus : capite colloque ex totis, alis, 
rectrieihusque, saturate azureis: fronte lorisque nigricantibus: plumis 
guise lanceolatis, barbulis disj unctis, rhachidibus albis ; tectricibus alarum 
nigro-fasciolatis: remigibus rectrieihusque apicem versus nigricantibus, 
apice ipso albo: cauda elongata, sequali. Rostrum longum, altum, valde 
compressum.
