" The following notes respecting this species, transmitted to me 
by M. Middendorff of St. Petersburgh, will be read with interest. 
' I first met with small flocks of this bird during the second week 
in April, near the river Aldan, in South-eastern Siberia, at about 
60^° north latitude. They were mingled with and passing through 
flocks of Turdus fuscatus. About the end of April they began to 
couple. They frequented the densest branches of the coniferous 
and other trees, and while perched on the tops of the lofty larches, 
the males gave utterance to sweet songs, which called to my memory 
the melody of our Turdus musicus. Upon proceeding still farther 
into the country in a south-eastern direction, I lost sight of this 
interesting bird, and it is to be presumed that it does not occur on 
the eastern slope of the Stanowoj range.' 
" Pallas states that he frequently observed it in the lofty larch- 
forests of I>anuria, especially in the neighbourhood of the river 
Condam, passing in vast flocks to its winter-quarters, to which 
hunger compelled it to proceed through the snow-storms. At 
other times it dwells in the densest and most remote solitudes of 
the forest." — (Gould, Birds of Asia.)
