208 naumann's thrush. 



uncovered part of the feathers triangular rusty spots. 

 The tail underneath is a pale grey brown, the side 

 feathers with a lighter border; the upper tail feathers 

 have a light rusty brownish border. 



The young after the first moult (fig. 2,) is, contrary 

 to the rule in young Thrushes, a reddish brown, instead 

 of olive brown or grey — it is more like that of the 

 Fieldfare, the feathers being edged with whitish grey; on 

 the rump the feathers are bordered with a darker rust 

 brown, and the upper tail coverts dark brown with 

 reddish grey edges. From the root of the beak extends 

 a broad yellowish white streak spotted with rust, be- 

 coming lost in the nape; the cheeks are olive brown, 

 with a rusty yellowish white spot beneath them; throat 

 white, tinted strongly with rust yellow, and on the sides 

 of the throat strongly marked with small triangular 

 dark brown spots; on the crop the feathers are brown 

 black, with broad greyish white and rust yellow-tinted 

 borders; middle of the belly and breast clear white, 

 and the under part of the thigh spotted with dark 

 brown; the luider wing coverts rust brown, white at 

 the tips and sides of the feathers; shoulder like the 

 back; the first primary brown black, the next eight 

 blackish, with broad dirty rust yellow borders; greater 

 wing coverts the same, but both white tips; lesser wing 

 coverts black brown, bordered with broad reddish rust; 

 under wing coverts like those of the Redwing; primaries 

 underneath are washed with the same rusty brown. The 

 tail feathers brownish black, with a narrow grey border, 

 which loses itself at the rump in a broad rust brown 

 bordering, so that the tail appears unicolorous. 



This bird (No. 2, Plate LXVIII,) appears to be a

 was not made out by dissection, which however is often
