narrow whitish fringes to the feathers of the hack, and the inner 

 primaries arc hrowner at the end of the inner web, which is fringed 

 with white. The back of the neck is also greyish brown, and the 

 eye-spots and forehead are tinged with ashy. The first winter 

 plumage of the young birds is like that of the old female, and the 

 birds moult into the full black plumage in the following spring. 

 In young birds there is a tendency to a broad grey collar round the 

 hind-neck, and some old birds in black plumage have more or less 

 of an indication of a white collar round the neck. So rarely does 

 this plumage occur in collections that I believe it to be peculiar to 

 young birds that have donned their nuptial dress for the first time.
