Dr. Nagamichi Kuroda died on 16th April 1978. He was known as a bird skin collector before the World War II. Unfortunately, nearly all of his collection (about 13, 000 skins) was destroyed by the war in 1945. After the war, he collected bird skins again. New Kuroda Collection was donated to the Yamashina Institute for Ornithology by Mrs. Shigeko Kuroda in 1980. This new Kuroda Collection includes 848 skins (468 non-passerines and 380 passerines) and 2 specimens of Tadorna cristata (_??_ & _??_). This report is a list of type specimens and non-passerines of new Kuroda Collection.
