 Iris very dark brown ; feet horn-coloured ; bill black. 

 The male is in full breeding-plumage and its colouring is 



exceptionally bright, all the feathers being quite free from the 

 brown margins shown in the winter dress. The chestnut of 

 the rump and under parts is darker and richer than in any 

 of the examples in the British Museum. The breeding-area 

 of this beautiful Rock-Thrush is probably restricted to 

 E. China, Manchuria, and the extreme south-east of Siberia. 

 Eianchi records a male from Yingtzu, May 14, 1901.
