 dark brown, with ashy-grey edges; upper tail-coverts dark ashy,

 inches, culmen 0-85, wing 3-8, tail 2-4, tarsus 1-2. 



The bird collected by Mr. Maries in the Ichang Gorge is a very 

 much larger bird, darker and richer in all its coloration, and having 

 the chocolate-brown of the back continued over the rump and ujjper 

 tail-coverts as well as the entire under surface of the body. 

 C marda of Formosa is smaller and rather different in colour, but 

 appears to be only a race of C. pallasi.
