noticed on migration, having been observed on а few occasions іп the Dobrudscha (Orn. Вајс. ii. 
p. 50, 1894). It also nests in Montenegro, according to Reiser and Von Führer (Orn. Вајс. iv. p. 54, 
1896). А specimen from Sweet Waters near Constantinople, collected by the late Mr. Pearce, is іп 
the U.S. National Museum, according to Dr. Stejneger, and must have been sent from England as a 
duplicate by someone who had looked upon it merely as an example of the Common Ring-Ouzel, 
Mr. Robson has also procured the species near Belgrade, and Mr. C. G. Danford met with the species 
on the Zebil Taurus Mts. in Asia Minor. He writes :—“ Flocks of Ring-Ouzels were found at Zebil 
during the hard weather of the early part of February. At the end of April a pair was met with 
on the Karanfil dagh, among the débris of loose rocks and gnarled old junipers. Тһе elevation 
was about 6500 feet. From their cries of alarm and general manner of conducting themselves it 
was evident that they had a nest close by, though it could not be found." 
Adult male. Similar to M. torquata, but a little browner above, and always much whiter below, 
the feathers being broadly edged with white, and having broad white centres, so that the black often 
forms only a sub-terminal horse-shoe mark ; under tail-coverts also distinctly centred and edged with 
white; bill yellow, dusky near the base; feet dark horny brown; iris dark brown. Total length 
10 inches, culmen 0:9, wing 5:6, tail 4:0, tarsus 1:3. 
Adult female. Similar to the male, but of a browner shade, and having the white collar on the 
fore-neck overshaded with brown. Total length 10:5 inches, culmen 0:95, wing 5:45, tail 4*0, 
tarsus 1:25. 
The descriptions are taken from a pair in the British Museum from Hatszeg, Transylvania, and 
the specimen figured in the Plate is from Zebil Taurus, Asia Minor. [R. В. 5.)
