J 52 GREEK PABTBIBGE. 



In some varieties the white is less pure, or even fawn-coloured. 



My figures of this bird are from specimens kindly sent me by Canon 

 Tristram. The male bird with white throat, the typical P. grcsca, is 

 from the Morea. The female bird with the rufous throat, which I 

 have figured for comparison, is from Crete. It is the bird before 

 alluded to. The egg is figured from one in my own collection. 



The bird has also been figured by Brisson, Ornith., pi. 2o, f. 1; 

 Buffon, pi. enl. 231; Eoux, Ornith. Prov., pi. 259; Naumann, pi. 164; 

 Bouteille, Ornith. du Dauph., pi. 42, fig. 2; Gould, B. of E.; Tem- 

 minck. Atlas du Manuel; Vieillot, Faun. Franc, pi. 109; Bonaparte, 

 Fauna Ital.
