The crown in this variety is rusty-brown ; through the eye,, and 

 round the head a streak of black ; under this a collar of white ; the 

 upper parts of the body green, the under white ; on the middle of 

 the belly a red spot ; vent crimson ; quills black ; tail green, tipped 

 with black ; legs pale red. 



Inhabits China — from the drawings of the late Dr.Fothergill. 



Independent of the above, we have observed some other dis- 

 tinctions of less note, and therefore not worth discriminating; serving, 

 however, to shew the great variety of this species, all of which are 

 beautiful. Whether they may be more allied to the Thrushes, as 

 some suspect, than to the Crows, is not easily to be determined, as 

 their manners are as yet imperfectly known. In some India 

 drawings one of these is called Gooda.
