[[underlined]] Tokio Educational Museum, Tokio, [[/underlined]] Japan.
155 specimens, 107 species, all from Japan.
This collection is especially valuable on account of the care with which the specimens are prepared, sexed, and labeled. It also contains several species new to the collection of the Museum, besides three species new to science. Many of the species in this collection were not hitherto represented in our museum by Japanese specimens. Altogether, it is a most interesting and valuable accession, which in many respects completes the collections of [[underlined]] Blakiston [[/underlined]] and [[underlined]] Jouy, [[/underlined]]  making the collection of Japanese birds in the National Museum one of the best ones, if not the best one in existence.

Transcription Notes:
Pierre Louis Jouy was a noted collector.
