This unique specimen is apparently referable to this species, 

 although it differs from six Japanese specimens, with which it has 

 been compared, in the more reddish colour of the pileiim and cervix, 

 and in having the flanks decidedly of a deei)er chestnut, and the back 

 also tinged with reddish chestnut. The lores and periotic region are 

 black ; the breast is marked with narrow dark crescentic bands,

Underparts very yellow, hardly any trace of fulvous on the 

 breast. The specmiens appear to be fully adult and, of course, belong 

 to the eastern race, which only differs from western specimens in 

 being slightly smaller and in having a rather shorter tail. Such 

 differences are, however, said not to be constant ; and we must 

 further remark that our specimens are moulting.
