on the outer webs ; axillaries and under wing-coverts dark slate- 

 grey ; the rest of the underparts white, the feathers of the breast 

 and upper flanks with dark slato-giey fan-shaped termiiial spots, 

 and the feathers of the lower flanks and under tail-coverts with 

 slate-grey sides ; inner margin of quills brown. Bill yellow. 

 Wings with the third and fourth primaries nearly equal and longest, 

 second primary intermediate in length between the fifth and sixth, 

 bastard primary 0-7 to 0-45 inch. Legs, feet, and claws yellow. 

 Length of wing 4-65 to 4*35 inches, tail 3"1 to 2-9, culmen U-9 to 

 0"75, tarsus 1*25 to 1'15. 



The female differs from the male in having the upper parts a 

 uniform olive-brown ; the axillaries and under wing-coverts are 

 orange-chestnut ; and the sides of the neck, breast, and flanks are 

 suffused with orange- chestnut ; the feathers of the cheeks, lower 

 throat, and upper breast, as well as those of the lower breast and 

 flanks, have dark-brown fan-shaped terminal spots. Bill brown. 

 Males of the year resemble the female, but are very slightly suffused 

 with chestnut on the sides of the neck, breast, and flanks; the chest- 

 nut axillaries and under wing-coverts appear to be partially retained 

 after the second autumn moult. Young in first plumage are unknown. 



The Grey Japanese Ouzel appears to be confined to Japan during 

 the breeding-season, frequenting both islands. It winters in South 

 China and Hainan.
