THRUSH NIGHTINGALE. 
21 
In the young before the first moult the upper parts 
are bright clear russet brown; the head, scapularies, 
and wung 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 me by M. 
Verreaux. It is also figured by Gould, “B. of E.”
