Abstract
No breeding record for Smew, Mergus albellus Linné, has hitherto been known in Japan ("A Hand-List of Japanese Birds", 4th edition, 1958). Reported here are : 1. Six adults and 5 young were observed at Wakasakanai, the northern part of Hokkaido, July 1, 1961. 2. The pond, where Smews were observed, was in fir forest and about 50m. in diameter. Carex curvicollis and its allies were on the watersurface.
