During 1965-66, 7027 birds of 97 species were ringed at more than 20 localities covering 12 prefectures in Japan. The number of bird species ringed are tabled in Fig. I. 61 recoveries (18 spp.) were reported (of which 25 from abroad). This ringing project was financially supported by the Migratory Animal Pathological Survey, U. S. Army. We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to Lt. Col. C. M. Barnes, the director, and Dr. H. E. McClure of the M. A. P. S. for their support and kindness shown to our work. A special method of catching Pied Wagtail is illustrated on page 13.
