THRUSH NIGHTINGALE. 21 



In tlie yomig before the first moult tlie upper parts 

 are bright clear russet brown; the head, scapularies, 

 and wing 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."
