Himalayas, though lie did not otherwise distinguish them. 

 Our house-cat caught on the 4tli of September, 191 2^ a 

 young bird of this species, and 1 shot two adults from 

 brushwood on the 31st of May and the 1st of June, 1917. 

 These, together with a wing (remains of a l)ird eaten by a 

 cat) found on a doorstep on the 1st of October, 1914, are 

 the only specimens obtained by me at Cliingwangtao during 

 a stay of seven years. 



The soft parts etc. of these adult birds were : — Iris rather 

 pale browu ; bill black ; mouth pink; legs dark pink or 

 Hesh-colour. 



Two males :— Wing 203 and 2-06 in. ; total length 5-05 

 and 5*25 in. ; 1st primary 0*51 in.; 2nd })rimary equal to 

 the 7th; the 3rd and 4th equal; the 5th almost equal 

 to them, but just below. 



The young bird, a male, is rather paler above ; lores and 

 an indistinct short eyebrow yellowish ; under parts dull pale 

 primrose-yellow, the feathers of the breast edged with olive- 

 brown and faintly spotted ; throat and vent whitish yellow ; 

 under tail-coverts (very long and covering outer rectrices) 

 pale olive-brown, broadly tipped with dull yellowish. 



Iris grey-lirown ; upper mandible of bill blackish, edged 

 with pink ; lower mandible flesh-colour, shading to yellow 

 at the base and with a dark point; rictus yellow; legs fiesh- 

 colour, with a tinge of brown on the feet ; soles of feet and 

 hind part of tarsus light yellowish green. 



Bill from gape O'GO, culinen 0"45, wing 2*05 in. ; the 1st 

 primary 0"55 in. The 2nd primary is equal to the 7th ; 3rd, 

 4th, and 5th longest and equal. Tail (worn) 1*85 in. ; the 

 outer rectrix about 0*50 in. shorter than the central. Tarsus 

 0*70 in. The specimen has a deformed foot, turned back- 

 wards. It appears to be a young bird of the year.
