From 8th March to 14th May 1980 I travelled extensively throughout the main Japanese archipelago and outlying islands. Through discussion with Dr. Mark A. Brazil it is apparent that the following observations contribute to an understanding of the status and distribution of Japanese birds, either as currently understood, or as detailed in the most recent review of the subject (OSJ 1974), thus meriting documentation and comment. Where observations were made with others, their identities are cited as follows: Clive W. Byers, CWS; Mark S. Chapman, MSC; Takeyoshi Matsuo, TM; Raymond O'Reilly, R'OR; and Craig R. Robson, CRR. Except where a specific locality is given, seabird observations were made from ferries between the localities given.
