Abstract
In 1952, Mr. Jack T. Moyer observed several Pryer's Grass-Warblers, Bradypterus pryeri pryeri (Seebohm) at a marsh of Tamatsukuri, northeast coast of the Lake Kasumigaura, Namekata-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture. One or two examples he then collected are now in his collection. Also in January, 1952, Captain (Surgeon) R. B. W. Smith, an ornithologist at Haneda Air-Base, has collected this species at the air-base field (not marshy place). The specimen, however, was taken by rat before being stuffed, and the sex is unclear. The above two localities, Tamatsukuri and Haneda (Tokyo), are new additions to the known records of the Preyer's Grass-Warbler.
It was added that prior to Seebohm's description of 'Megalurus pryeri, n. sp.', the species was known to Blakiston and Pryer who made it a species of the Genus Cisticola, in their papers in Transactions of the Asiatic Society of Japan, viii, pt. 2 (1880) and x, pt. 1 (1882), about which the readers will find the quotations in the text.
