The five males from the Khingans are exceptionally grey 
above, while there is much white on the under parts; on the 
other hand, in Sir Evan James’s specimens rufous and brown 
are the prevailing colours. One of his birds, killed June 
22nd, is only half-grown.

Iris white; feet yellow. 
Both these Manchurian specimens are very pale and grey 
above, without a vestige of rufous on the nape or back. They 
are probably quite old birds, as all the males in the British 
Museum are more or less mottled with red-brown on the 
nape ; but, of course, the males are never so conspicuously 
marked as the adult females. The rufous is apparent in 
males killed as late as May and June, that is to say, in birds 
that must have been at least ten or eleven months old when 
shot. It seems to me probable that the rufous is not entirely 
lost until the second or third season. 
Bianchi records this species from Port Arthur (Sept. 20, 
1901). 
Forty miles south of Sansing, Sir Evan James speaks of 
a a Grey Quail” being plentiful in places. He probably 
refers to the present species.
