ALARUM THRUSH. 



with yellow: the feathers of the head and neck are 

 similar in shape to those of the Pagoda Thrush, and' 

 are of an ash^coloiired grey, with the shafts white : 

 the upper parts of the body are cinereous grey : 

 quills black : the under parts of the body rufous 

 brown : tail greyish ash : legs yellow. Inhabits 

 Malabar ; and, like the preceding, is kept in 

 cages, and bears the name of Pome. As it only 

 differs in wanting a crest, and in having the head 

 of the same colour as the body, may it not be merely 

 a variety, or young bird ?
