At Mahasoo, near Simla, in September 1866, in thick cover 

 by the roadside, I found a single specimen uttering its peculiar 

 call, which reminded me somewhat of that of the common Bull- 

 finch {Pijrrhula vulgaris). The irides were of a curious dark 

 grey ; legs flesh-colour, with brown claws ; the bill has the 

 ridge and tip black; the basal half of the upper mandible below 

 the nostril, and the whole of the lower mandible, bluish lead- 

 colour. Length 6-625; wing 3-25; tail 2-375 ; tarsus 10625 ; 

 spread of foot underneath 1-375 ; bill from front -5625, from 

 gape -8125 ; extent 8-5.
