David's observations in Cliina. The latter author states 

 that the dark Doles in great number pass Setchuan and 

 Shansi in the spring on their way to central Mongoha, but 

 some remain in China and nest in hollow trees. 



The dimensions of the preserved specimen are rather 

 small the length of the wing being 225 mm. and the length 

 of the tail 128 mm. It gives, however, the impression of 

 being a comparatively young bird and a similarly coloured 

 bird in this museum collected in Tian Shan is much larger. 

 There is thus no constant difference in size between the dark 

 and the pied Dole. 



They may stånd in the same connection to each other 

 as originally the Carrion Crow did to the Hooded Crow.

The two latter are not quite so large as the first and the 

 white of the primaries does not extend fully to the tip of 

 the quill, but the size of the wing, the amount of white in 

 the plumage etc. indicate them to belong to the same sub- 

 species.

This Jay belongs, as could be expected, to the G. gl. 

 hrandti group without any white on the forehead, but it 

 differs as well from the typical G. gl. hrandti as from the 

 Saghalin yay {G. gl. taczanoivskiy in being much paler every- 

 where, differently coloured below etc. The typical G. gl. 

 hrandti has the colour of the head rich rufous or foxy red, 

 and that of the Saghalin Jay is still more intense, inclining 

 to or being chestnut red. This Mongolian Jay has a much 

 paler head the colour of which may be termed påle rufous 

 or cinnamon, especially on the sides of the head and neck. 

 The grey of the upper surface of the body is paler than in 

 G. gl. hrandti and tinged with cinnamon (not vinous). The
