Clark on Birds Collected by P L Jouy in Korea

ington, at Union Bay, Vancouver Island, at some of the Aleutian Islands, a few hours at Copper Island and Bering Island, with short halts at various points along the Japanese and IC•mcbatkan coasts.The li5t contains important notes on many of the species, as the Puffins, Anklets.Guillemots, and other sea birds met with along the American coast, in the Aleutian Archipelago, in the Kuril Islands, and along the coast of Kamchatka.The only Point Barrow Gull seen was observed in Patience Bay, Sakhalin, while the Vega Gull "was rather common in Unalga Pass, near Unalaska," and was seen again, in small numbers, in Avacha Bay, Kamcl•tka.There are also interesting notes on the Albatrosses, the Pacific Fulmar, and the various species of Petrel observed.The Kamchatkan Sea Eagle (Thrassa•tus pelagicus) is recorded as seen near the town of Unalaska, but unfortunately was not obtained.So sure is Dr. Clark of its identification that he says: "A thorough survey of these [Aleutian] islands may show that this species, as well as Halia•tus albicilla, which has been recently recorded from Unalaska, are of more or less regular occurrence throughout the whole group."Under Lagopus lagopus alexandra• are several pages of critical notes on Ptarmigans, with figures of bills of three forms of the L. lagopus group, and a key to the American subspecies of Lagopus lagopus, three being recognized, a's follows: (1) L. I. alleni, Newfoundland; (2) L. I. albus (Gmelin), inhabiting "northern I•brador, westward and northward to northern Alaska, reaching Point Barrow, Kotzebue Sound, Cape Lisbourne, and Kowak River (type locality, Hudson Bay)"; (3) L. I. aIexandra•, "southern Alaska, from coasts of Norton Sound and Alaska Peninsula, including Kadiak and Shumagin islands, southeastward to mountains of southeastern Alaska."The paper as a whole contains much interesting information about a large number of species, particularly the pelagic forms and those breeding at the various northern islands visited.The cruise afforded rare opportunities for ornithological observation, and they seem to have been well utilized.--J. A. A. Clark on Birds collected by P. L. Jouy in Korea J--The late Pierre Louis Jouy spent over three years (between 188] and 1886) in Korea, and at the time of his untimely death in 1894 was engaged in the preparation of a report on the ornithological collection made by him in that country, numbering 554 specimens, and representing, according to Dr. Clark's present account, about 165 species.In 1907 Dr. Clark published a con-'siderable number of new species from Jouy's collection? and incidental x Report on a Collection of Birds made by Pierre Louis Jouy in Korea.By
