These two birds are paler beneath, not ro rusty, otherwise they resemble those 

 from Arn. The type came from Arfak, but we have, unfortunately, no specimens 

 from there.

The only difference in the sexes is the rufous instead of white superciliary 

 line of the females. In some of the males the superciliaries are tipped and edged 

 with light blue.

The females are tinged with ochraeeous on the whole abdomen, while in the 

 males the middle of the breast and abdomen, as well as the throat, is white. In 

 two of our specimens the throat too is pale ochraeeous, these examples thus bearing 

 a close similarity to our G. rufobrunnea from Humboldt Bay {Nov. Zool. 1903, 

 p. 225). It is by no means impossible that the latter is a merely a younger 

 specimen of C. murinus, but further research is required.

The males are slightly larger (wings 62 to 64 mm., instead of 56 to 59 in the 

 females), the dark band across the chest is darker and much more conspicuous, 

 while in the females it is paler and less distinct. In two of our females the 

 throat is slightly tinged with buff.
