TKe specimens from the Oominander Islands are very bright colored, 



the chestnut, black, and white being of greater j^urity than is perhaps 



usual. This is, however, the only difference which can be detected in 



a large series, and individuals just as bright are not unfrequent from 



other localities.

This form seems to be the common breeding bird on the mainland of 



Kamtschatka, where I got a very young specimen near Petropaulski on 



the 4th of July, 1882.
