yellow on underparts.” I conjecture it to be the species 
indicated. If I am right in my identification, this makes 
three species of this group from Japan. I have seen P. 
borealis, Blas., in the Leyden Museum, from Nagasaki; but 
it is possible this may be the same as the last. 
Blakiston states that he has two specimens of Motacilla 
japonica from Kamtchatka, and one Emberiza rustica. 
133. ScH@NICLUS PALLASI. 
No bird sent. 
““T have amale specimen distinct from S. yessoensis, 52 x 3, 
black on throat separated from black on head by a white line 
from corner of mouth; nape white.”

The acquisition of the last species was needed to show how 
this species originated. JI mentioned this species in my last 
paper (Ibis, 1875, p. 451), and will now describe it. It is 
a form of S. pallasi with Bullfinch-lke bill, just as the 
European Black-headed Bunting has a similar form (S. pyr- 
rhuloides) in Italy. Blakiston gives no particulars about it. 
Length 5°5, wing 3:1, tail 4°7, tarsi °71. 
135. URacus sIBIRICUS. 
No specimen sent; but Blakiston refers to the number in 
my list indicating this bird, writing, “ one specimen, 63 x 38, 
g. Like a large edition of U. sanguinolentus. However, it 
may only be a large race of that species, as the true U. si- 
biricus differs in many respects of colour.” 
He sends a specimen of Pica media from Kamtchatka, and 
says that he has not as yet found the Magpie at all about 
Hakodadi. 
He sends a veritable Garrulus glandarius, L., and writes, 
“JT have a Jay from Yedo, which I take to be G. lidthi. I 
send a specimen of a Jay from amongst my collection, which 
I imagine I must have got from you. .I have marked it [A], 
and put it in so that I may explain the appearance of the 
Yedo specimen. The Yedo bird has the back of the same 
shade of colour, the black dashes on the crown rather larger, 
and the white there more pure. The tail is quite black. No
