AKT. 5 BIRDS FROM YUNKAN AND SZECHWAN, CHINA KILEY 35 



unique for the young of a thrush to have an unspotted plumage, and 

 this genus may not belong to the Turdidae at all, as claimed by the 

 older ornithologists. 



121. GRANDALA COELICOLOR Hodgson 



Gran (laid coelicolor Hodgson, Journ. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, vol. 12, 1843, p, 

 447 (Nepal). 



Two adult males, Likiang Mountains, 12,000 feet. May 8, were 

 taken after a late snow storm. 



These are brighter colored than two Indian specimens, as remarked 

 by Stuart Baker,^- but they do not appear to be any smaller, in fact 

 they have somewhat larger bills. 



122. TURDUS GOULD! (Verreaux) 



Merula gouldi Verreaux, Nouv. Arch. Mus. d'Hist. Nat., vol. 6, 1871, p. 34 

 (W. Szechwan). 



A fair series of adults and young from Tsao Chiang, March 18; 

 Likiang Mountains, 10,000-15,000 feet, April, July, and August; 

 Hofuping Mountains, Mekong Valley, November. 



The males are very richly colored. The chief variation is in the 

 color of the throat. In some specimens the chin and middle throat 

 is spotted with white, while in others it is entirely lacking. The 

 female is considerably paler than the male. 



The 3'oung in various stages of the spotted plumage were taken in 

 July and August. 



123. TURDUS RUFICOLLIS Pal'.as 



T Urdus rupcolUf! Pallas, Reise Russ. Reichs, vol 3, 1776, p. 694 (Dauria). 



A small series of adults in various stages of plumage from : Near 

 Feilung Chiao, March 20; between Lanping and Kanhoten, March 

 27; Kanhoten, March 28; Nguluko, 9,400 feet, April 5; Likiang 

 Mountains, 12,500 feet, April 9; Likiang Plain, 9,000 feet, April 14; 

 Youngning Plain, February; Mill Forests, Szechwan, February. 



The females vary from a plumage hardly different from the males 

 to one in which the throat and chest is only slightly mixed with rusty 

 and much spotted with black. Apparently the full adult plumage 

 is not acquired the first year.

Turdus eiowmus Temminck, PI. Col., pi. 514, 1831 (Japan). 



One female, between Pakang and Wamangai, March 16; one male,
