Adult male. General colour above asby grey, sligbtly mottled 

 ■with subterminal bars of dusky brown, the feathers tipped with the 

 same colour, these mottled markings less distinct on the rump and 

 upper tail-coverts ; lesser wing-coverts like the back ; median and 

 greater series dusky brown, washed with ashy grey externally ; 

 quills brown, externally ashy grey ; tail-feathers dark ashy brown ; 

 bead and neck light earthy brown, gradually extending over the 

 mantle ; lores, feathers below the eye, and eai'-coverts like the head, 

 a little darker below the front of the eye, above the latter a 

 ■white spot ; cheeks, throat, and breast white, the rest of the under 

 surface of body brick- red, dusky on the vent ; sides of body, flanks, 

 and under tail-coverts dark ashy grey, the latter with pale rufescent 

 tips ; under wing-coverts and axillarics smoky brown, the latter 

 narrowly tipped with white ; quills ashy brown below, lighter along 

 the edge of the inner web. Total length 8 inches, culmen 0-9, 

 wing 3-6, tail 2-3, tarsus 1-2. 



The Pale-backed White-throated Dipper represents the foregoing 

 species in the countries of the Mediterranean. It is found in 

 Switzerland, in the Austrian Tyrol, Italy, with Sicily and Sardinia, 

 and throughout Greece, being probably the species which has been 

 seen occasionally near Odessa, though the latter may prove to be 

 C. aquaticus. In the Pyrenees and the mountains of the Spanish 

 Peninsula it is also found, but in a darker form than true C. albi- 

 coUis ; and the same may be said of the Dipper of the Atlas 

 mountains in Algeria (C. minor, Tristr.).
