This thrush is quite common at Fuji in the breeding season, and was 
also found at Chiusenji Lake and at Tate-Yama. Some specimens in 
breeding plumage show a distinct white line over the eye entirely want- 
ing in fall birds, which are also very dark on the throat and ear coverts. 
The nest is similar in size and general appearance to that of carcis, 
but is composed of much coarser material, and instead of being covered 
with moss it is bound together with long fibers of grass. One nest has 
a piece of straw rope and a bit of old blue cotton cloth in it, such as 
used by the natives ip making sandals or “ warajies.” 
The eggs are pale bluish in color, blotched and speckled all over with 
‘brown amd lilaceous. They average slightly smaller in size than cardis, 
being about 27™™ by 20". 
Young birds in first plumage resemble young of cardis, but are much 
lighter in color. The back is light olive brown; all the feathers have 
broad ochraceous webs, giving the back a streaked appearance; the 
feathers are also margined with blackish; the head is slightly darker 
than the back. 
The cheeks and under parts are suffused with ochraceous, which 
deepens into reddish brown on the flanks. The sides of the head, 
breast, and flanks are thickly covered with small dusky spots.
