of the adults, but differs in the following particulars : — The hind 

 neck is ashy brown, with dusky blackish centres to the feathers ; 

 the crown dull ashy brown, with a superciliary line of vinous, 

 widening out above the ear-coverts and encircling the. nape ; facial 

 markings as in adult, but the white of the face and cheeks 

 washed with ashy, the latter barred with dusky ; fore neck and 

 breast ashy, the abdomen dull white ; sides of body and under tail- 

 coverts light brown ; wings rather more fulvescent than in the 

 adult, and the white wing-bars washed with fulvous and much less 

 pronounced. 



Dr. Finsch procured a young male in full moult on the River Ob, 

 on the 16th of September. From this specimen it would appear 

 that the young bird after its first moult retains the brown character 

 of the crown with the sides of the latter chocolate, as in the first 

 plumage ; otherwise the upper surface is similar to that of the adults ; 

 the black on the throat is much restricted, and appears to be some- 

 what hidden by the whitish tips to the lower throat-feathers.

 through Siberia to Japan and China : N.E. Africa ; Central Asia, 

 Persia, and Afghanistan ; the Himalaya Mountains eastwards to 

 Assam, Burmah, and through Tenasscrim and the Malay peninsula 

 to Java. In eastern localities it takes the place of Passer domesti- 

 cus, and is the House- Sparrow of the country.
