74. Ogawa's ‘ List of the Birds of Japan! 
[A Hand-list of the Birds of Japan. By Minori Ogawa. Ann. Zool. 
Japon. vol. vi. p. 337 (Dec. 1908). Tokyo.] 
The sixth volume of the f Annotationes Zoologies Japon- 
enses* (auspiciis Societatis Zoologicse Tokyonensis seriatim 
editse) closes with a revised, list of the Birds of Japan (exclu¬ 
sive of Saghalin and Formosa) prepared by the late Minori 
Ogawa. The list gives the names and most important 
synonyms of the 502 species and subspecies recognised by 
the author as belonging to the “ Fauna Japonica.” The 
native Japanese names and the exact localities are likewise 
given. 
The editor of the f Annotationes 3 adds the following 
remarks on the sad fate of this young and promising 
zoologist:— 
“ While this List was passing through the press the author 
Mr. Minori Ogawa died, after a long illness. Thus was 
frustrated the expectation which the author had entertained 
to greatly improve the form and matter of the List. In the 
deceased we have lost a young and enthusiastic observer of 
birds and bird-life, which, in the dearth of scientifically 
trained ornithologists in this part of the world, will be 
keenly felt by all who take interest in the progress of 
zoological knowledge.” 
A former very useful article prepared by Ogawa (on the 
birds of the Japanese Islands) will be found noticed in this 
Journal for 1906 (p. 593).
