 CoUuricincla brunnea tachycrypta subsp. nov. 



The specimens of which we said that we conld not see any relial)ii' dilference 

 between them and Australian ones, differ from the latter by being smaller, l]y the 

 bill being slightly slenderer, and by the white of the lores extending in a narrow 

 line over the eyes and in a short streak or spot, more or less indicated, behind 

 the eye ; the chest is also darker, thus throwing up the whitish throat in distinct 

 contrast. Wings 121-127 mm.
