TURDUS DUBIUS, Bechstein. 



[§ 1336. Three. — Doodinka, Jennesei Valley, 5 June, 1895. 

 From Mr. C. B. Hill, 1896. 



As before mentioned (§ 1220) Mr. Hill was the companion of Mr. Popham, 

 who writes (Ibis, 1897, p. 92) : — '' Wishing one day to obtain a thoroughly 

 authentic clutch of Redwings' ^^^i, I shot the parent bird, and was surprised 

 to find it was not an ordinary Redwing as I had thought, but a specimen 

 of T. fuscatus [Pallas, i. e. T. dubius, Bechstein]. I secured the two eggs from 

 the nest, which was exactly like a Fieldfare's, with a lining of mud and a final 

 lining of dry grass. We afterwards obtained several more nests with eggs 

 belonging to the Dusky Thrush, all being of necessity placed rather low down, 

 but one was quite on the ground between the stems of a willow. This species 

 extended further north than either of the preceding [T. iliacus and T. jnlaris], 

 even beyond the limit of the forest." Mr. Hill, in the note which accom- 

 panied these specimens, says that he also did not at first distinguish this species 

 from the Redwing, which its eggs much resemble. Doodinka is in lat. 69° N. 

 or thereabouts.]
