EASTERN NIGHTINGALE. 75 



Common Nightingale; throat white, surrounded by dark grey; feet 

 brown. 



In the young before the first moult the upper parts are bright clear 

 russet brown; the head, scapularies, and wing coverts thickly mottled 

 with light chesnut. All the under parts mottled with dark grey and 

 dirty white, with a shade of yellow; tail rich chesnut brown; feet and 

 legs light brown; beak rather darker. 



The figure is from an adult male sent to me by M. Verreaux. It 

 has also been figured by Gould. 



The figure of the egg is from a series of four in my own collection. 

 It was taken in Prussia, and sent to me by Herr Moeschler.
