Sp. Ch.- —Fourth quill longest; third and fifth a little shorter ; second much longer than sixth. Tail nearly even ; the lateral 
feather shorter. Above, rather dark bluish slate ; under parts generally, a patch on the upper eyelids continuous with a stripe 
behind it along the side of the head and neck, the lower eyelids, two bands across the wing coverts and the edges of the quills, 
in part, rufous orange brown ; middle of belly white. Sides of the head and neck continuous with a broad pectoral transverse 
band, black. Most of tail feathers with a terminal patch of brownish white. Bill black. Feet yellow. Female more olivaceous 
above ; the white of the abdomen more extended ; the brown beneath paler ; the pectoral band obsolete. Length, 9.75 inches ; 
wing, 5.09 ; tail, 3.90 ; tarsus, 1.25. 
j Hah. —Pacific coast North America. Accidental on Long Island and near Boston. 
This strongly marked species in general appearance hears a close resemblance to the American 
robin, but is readily distinguished by its coloration. In addition to the characters already given, 
it may be stated that the axillars are plumbeous, with a white patch at the base ; the under 
wing coverts plumbeous, but broadly tipped with white. There is also an obscure whitish patch
