Mr. Secbohm does not recognize. The more rufous colour of the 

 Chinese birds is, however, very apparent ; but I have not had a 

 sufficient number of specimens of the Siberian bird, in breeding- 

 plumage, to compare with those of Northern Europe, and it seems 

 to me probable that the rufous colour of the Chinese birds is due 

 to the fact that they are on their way north to breed, and that 

 the rufous margins have not become abraded. I have failed to find 

 any difference in measurements or plumage in specimens procured 

 during winter. 



Hub. The same as that of the genus.
