33-4 Mr. R. Swinhoe on Birds from Hakodadi. 
?* 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 Turtur janthina, T.&S.. But he describesit as “in co- 
lour like 7. humilis 9, 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 cristatus, which 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. 
186. NUMENIUS AUSTRALIS. 
He sends a male of this species, and gives as measurements 
of the fresh bird 213x114, bill along culmen 32. He also 
gives the measurements of a female, 223 x 118, bill 33. 
187. Numentius Masor, 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 104, wing 53, bill 12. Black on 
breast in a large patch. I have never seen this bird from 
* I will here add Bonaparte’s description of Garrulus hdthi from the 
‘Consp. Av.’ (p. 376):—“ Rufo-vinaceus: capite colloque ex totis, alis, 
rectricibusque, saturate azureis: fronte lorisque nigricantibus: plumis 
gulee lanceolatis, barbulis disjunctis, rhachidibus albis; tectricibus alarum 
nigro-fasciolatis : remigibus rectricibusque apicem versus nigricantibus, 
apice ipso albo: cauda elongata, eequali. Rostrum longum, altum, valde 
compressum.
