This is our commonest winter thrush. A few are occasionally 

 found together^, though the bird is not gregarious. One, shot the 

 23rd February, is described as folows: — Length 9-2; wings 4-9; 

 tail 3-5 ; bill -8, to gape I'l. Upper parts rich olive-brown, paler 

 on the breast and flanks of lower parts, and greyish on the cheeks. 

 A spot under the eye, chin, and throat white, the latter speckled 

 with olive-grey. Belly and under tail-coverts white, the last 

 blotched with olive-brown. Bill: upper mandible black, edged 

 with yellow ; lower mandible, inside of mouth, and skin round 

 the eye chrome-yellow. Legs pale liver-brown. Quills hair-brown, 

 margined on the outer webs of the four foremost with white. Tail 

 hair-brown, margined with olive-green, the two outermost feathers 

 having large spots of white on the inner webs towards the tip, 

 and the 3rd feather only a small spot. In spring, the head, neck, 

 breast, and flanks become deeply tinged with bluish grey, varied 

 with more or less white in difi'erent individuals. 



56. TuRDUs FALLENS, Pallas. {T. pallidus, Gm.). 

 Not unfrequent during winter. 



57. TuRDUs CHRYSOLAUS, Tcmm. & Schleg. Faun. Japon. 

 This handsome species is closely allied to our T. advena in size 



and shape; but the red that marks its plumage is a sure distinc- 

 tion. Small parties of this bird arrive in early spring, but they 

 make short sojourn with us. 



Four other species of Turdus occur during the winter; but, as 

 I have no duplicates, I have not had the means of identifying 

 them.

 abundant from Amoy to Shanghai.

A straggling visitant. Number of rectrices fourteen 



60. Petrocossyphus manillensis (Bodd.).
