Going through a large series of this Jay, I find that it 
shews a strong tendency to become generally paler and larger 
towards the eastern side of its range. Compared with speci¬ 
mens from the neighbourhood of Krasnoyarsk, my birds 
have the heads light foxy-brown instead of dark chestnut, 
the difference being especially marked towards the base of 
the bill and on the nasal plumes, the latter being sandy 
white in my specimens. The wing-measurements of the 
Manchurian birds average about 6*9 in. (in the largest male 
7*35 in.). 
Examples from the mouth of the Amur and Hokkaido 
agree perfectly with mine. 
Brandt’s Jay is probably a resident species in Manchuria.
