The Shags have only ten tail-feathers, and the feathers of the back and scapulars are not margined uith black. The Resplendent Shag lias two crests when adult, and the forehead is always feathered to the base of the bill. Figures : Temminck and Schlegel, Fauna Japoniea, Aves, pi. 81. (adult), pi. (young) ; misnamed Carlo bicristatus. The Resplendent Shag breeds on the Kurile Islands, and is com- mon on the coast of Yczzo during summer (Whitcly, Ibis, 1807, p. 211) and probably in winter also. Great numbers visit Tokio Bay in winter, but leave for the north in the spring. I have an example collected by ^Nlr. Snow on the Kurile Islands, and there are two examples in the Swinhoc collection from Ilakodadi, one of them collected by Cajjtain lilakiston in winter (Swinhoe, ll)is, 1871, p. 1G4). I have also two examples from Ilakodadi collected by Mr. Ilcnson.
