ad. (Japan). Differs from U. sibiricus in being smaller, darker, and 

 much more richly coloured, the breast and abdomen being bright rose-red, 

 almost carmine. Culmen (V35, \\ ing 2'75, tail 2-86, tarsus 0'62 inch. The 

 female is smaller and darker than that of U. sibiricus, and is tinged with 

 warm reddish brown. 



Hob. Eastern Siberia, Dauria, the Ussuri country, the islands 

 of Askold and Saghalien, the Kuriles, Japan, Manchuria, and 

 N. China. 



In habits it does not differ from U. sibiricus, of which it is a 

 brighter coloured smaller form, and its nest and eggs are 

 probably also similar, but I find no record of its nest having 

 been found. 



It is possible that Uragus lepidus, David and Oust, (Ois. Chine, 

 p. 359) may occur in Mongolia.
