 Nepal, but wants the white tips that mark the first to the sixth 

 primaries of the Indian bird, and its under wing instead of having 

 the bases of the primary quills white, commencing from the second 

 quill and increasing inwards, has the basal third of the quills 

 edged on their inner webs with white, commencing from the fourth 

 quill inclusive.

Throughout China ; Hainan ; Formosa. It is a mistake to identify 

 the European A. cecilii, Audouin (= A. rufogularis, Brehm), with our 

 eastern A. cervinus. Ours is a smaller bird, with shorter wing, and* 

 in summer is easily distinguished by the rosy hue of its eyebrow and 

 breast, which in the other are rust-colour, the breast being streaked 

 with black. The streaks on the flanks, too, in the latter are much 

 longer and broader.
