 Pyrrhula orientalis rosacea, Seebohm, Ibis, 1887, p. 101. 

 Adult male. Similar to P. griseiventris, but with a slight rosy tinge 

 overshadmg the grey of the upper surface. The under surface, 

 instead of being ashy grey, is pale scarlet or rosy, the colour of the 

 ear-coverts and throat being continued over the breast and flanks, 

 the lower abdomen being white, as well as the under tail-coverts. 

 Total length 5-6 inches, culmen 0-4, wing 3-4, tail 2-5, tarsus 0-6. 



Adult female. ]S T ot to be distinguished from the female of P. gri- 

 seiventris. Total length 5-6 inches, culmen 0-4, win°- 3 tail 2-3 

 tarsus 0-65. 



Young of the year. Upper parts dirty olive-brown, darker on the 

 head ; rump white ; below brownish, lighter in tint than the back ; 

 wings and tail as in adult ; bill smoky brown ; feet brownish. The 

 chin black in some specimens. (Jouy.) 



Mr. Jouy thinks that P. rosacea is only an advanced stage of 

 plumage of P. griseiventris, and says that this is borne out by his 

 series of specimens. I have examined a large number in Mr. See- 

 bohm's collection and come to an opposite conclusion. The ranges 

 of the two species are in all probability different, though they meet 

 in one or two localities in Japan.
