has faded a-n-ay, and the paler tips have been cast or abraded, the 

 spots on the breast have attained more definition, from the same 

 cause, and the general colour of the underparts has become purer 

 "white. Birds of the year have the pale tips to the greater wiug- 

 coverts more pronounced, and clearly-defined white tips to the 

 innermost secondaries. Young in Jirst pJumacje have also pale 

 shaft-lines and dark-brown terminal bars to the feathers of the back 

 and scapulars, all the wing-coverts have pale tips, and the spots on 

 the underparts are larger and extend further onto the belly. 



The Eedwing, or Red-winged Thrush, breeds in the birch region 

 _^and in the upper zone of the pine region from the Atlantic to the 

 Pacific, though it appears to become very rare east of the valley of 

 the Tenesay, where it is found as far north as lat. 71°, beyond the 

 limit of forest-growth. It has occurred in Greenland, but winters 

 in the British Isles and Western and .Southern Europe, occasionally 

 crossing the Mediterranean into Algeria, and wintering also in small 

 numbers in Persia, Turkestan, and Xorth-west India.
