A number of observations of one or more buff-mutant (schizochroismic) Jungle Crows, Coruvus macrorhyrchos, are reported. These observations occurred between January 5 1987 and February 6 1988. On January 5 1987 a buff-mutant individual was observed near the TBS television station. It appeared to be paired with a normal individual and was circling with its partner. The next observation was on February 3 1987 in the same locality. This time the buff bird was flying together with a partner in a territorial quarrel with another pair. The bird disappeared after four days. Finally, on February 6 1988, a sighting was made near the Hikawa Shrine, 500m from the earlier sightings. The local priest reported a buff bird being chased by other crows. It is highly probable these sightings are all of the same bird. It may also be possible the individual is the same as one previously reported about 500m east of the TBS television station (Kuroda 1986). If so, then the individual has been alive for 14 years from the first sighting.
