The length of wing in these specimens is resp. 80, 80, 84, 

 81, 8"), 86 mm. The wing in the two last specimens may be 

 said to be rather remarkably large, especially when it is con- 

 sidered that one of them is a young bird ; but as there exists 

 no other difference worth speaking of, they should belong, together 

 Avith the others, to the same form. 



The young bird differs considerably from the adult of both 

 sexes. The upper parts of head and neck are earthy brown with 

 an olive tiut ; the sides of head tinged with more olive yellow ; 

 throat and foreneck olive yellow. The back is brown with 

 darker centre to the feathers; upper tail- coverts uniform brown ; 

 medium and greater wing-coverts broadly edged with pale cin- 

 namon buff; secondaries in their outer parts broadly edged with 

 huffish, then with white and in the basal half with yellow. Breast 

 and the rest of the lower parts pale dirty yellow with brown 

 shaft-streaks ; under tail-coverts pale yellow with narrow brown 

 shaft-streaks. The tail feathers are as in the adult. 



A nest with 3 eggs and a sitting bird was collected by 

 Professor Ijima's expedition at Soloviyofka on the 29th of June.
