naumann's thrush. 207 



"A rather yoimger male, fig. 1, Plate LXVIII, is on 

 the body and upper part of the neck, lesser wing coverts, 

 back, and upper tail coverts, greyish olive brown, darkest 

 on the head and tail coverts, clearest on the back, having 

 here mingled with the olive grey, spots of rusty red of 

 different forms, which are however only visible when 

 the feathers are rather ruffled; wings brown, with dull 

 rusty borders to each feather, and lighter — almost whitish 

 — edges on the greater coverts; the light borders of the

 and cheeks olive brown mixed with white; throat yel- 

 lowish white, which blends into red on the side of the 

 neck, where it forms a light patch, and towards the 

 back appears as spots; from the rictus towards the throat

 crop is a brown and rusty colour mixed on a yellowish 

 white ground, and thickly spotted with dark brown; 

 the whole breast and under parts of the body white, 

 unspotted in the centre; the sides, however, are covered 

 with dark brown triangular 'Thrush-like' spots; vent 

 and under tail coverts clear rusty red, with the feathers 

 bordered with greyish white and rust-coloured spots, 

 those on the sides assuming a spear-head shape, which 

 may also be traced on the side of the crop, though 

 they are here more mixed with black brown; the feathers
