This is found in the eaftern part of Siberia, from the river Place anb- 

 Jenifei to the Lena, and beyond Lake Baikal; but not in the 

 weft. Found alfo in Kamtfchatka, but rare. Probably winters 

 in the Mongolian deferts, and China ; is afluredly found in the 

 laft, as I have a fpecimen from thence, which was brought alive 

 to England, where it lived for fome time among other poultry, 

 and -was pretty familiar, and when dead was prefented to my 

 collection.

'"pHIS differs from the laft in having the head very little creft- 

 ed on the crown, the feathers of the nape only being elonga- 

 ted : no falciform feathers falling over the quills : no white on 

 the vent or fides of it; inftead of which they, as well as the back, 

 are brown : and the thighs are white : in other things it much 

 refembles the former; and we fufpect that it is only the female or 

 a young bird of this beautiful fpecies. I obferve alfo another, 

 very fimilar to this, among fome Cbineje drawings, and therefore 

 look upon it as a bird of China..
