 tinues to and includes the tip, and edges the inner web .40 of an 

 inch from extreme end. Bill, tarsi and feet, black. Total length,

Female resembles the male, but has a chestnut band across the 

 breast, instead of a blue-black one. 



Two immature males from Le Gud and the Haud, respectively, 

 are in the dress of the female. 



This new species is nearest to P. minulla Bocage, but the 

 male differs in having the black line on face interrupted, the 

 white of hind neck, as described, joining the white throat and 

 cutting off the black collar. In P. minulla there is no such inter- 

 ruption; the black on side of face and ear-coverts joins the black 

 collar on the back. The female differs in the same manner.
