ad. (Japan). Crown warm ashy brown ; sides of the head, nape, and 

 forepart of the back similar but browner ; upper parts, wings, and middle 

 tail-feathers black, the wings spotted, and the back and scapulars barred 

 with white ; outer tail-feathers buff, barred with black ; malar stripe 

 blackish brown ; lores, a patch behind the eye, and a stripe bordering the 

 malar stripe, chin, throat, and an interrupted collar pure white ; under 

 parts fulvous white, striped with brown ; a small red stripe on each side 

 of the occiput. Culmen 0'65, wing 33, tail 2'2, tarsus 0'6 inch. The 

 female is similar, but lacks the occipital red stripe. 



Hal). Japan, Corea, and the Ussuri country in south-eastern 

 Siberia. 



It is said to be a resident, and often consorts with Tits ; 

 its cry is described as geed, geed. Specimens from the Ussuri 

 Corea, and Northern Japan (/. seebohmi) are as a rule somewhat 

 greyer on the crown, and have the under parts whiter, but in 

 a series I find these differences by no means constant, and 

 cannot therefore allow even subspecific rank to this form.
