FIELDFARE THRUSH. 113 



portions of parts, texture of plumage, and outlines of feathers, 

 the Migratory Thrush, Turdiis mi(fratorius of America, is most 

 intimately allied to the Fieldfare. 



The following are the dimensions of a number of individuals : 



Length 10^ 



Extent of wings 1 7i 



Bill A 



Wing 6 



Tail Vj 



Tarsus 1/g 



Middle toe and claw.. 1^^ 



Several instances of the Fieldfare's breeding in this country 

 have been mentioned, and it is not improbable that they may 

 yet become more numerous, as has certainly been the case 

 with the next species. Perhaps it may in some cases have 

 been mistaken for it, as happened to a person who two years 

 ago brought me the eggs of the Missel Thrush for those of the 

 Fieldfare.
