Hah. lusula r>jam|)ea sic dicta. 



A fine series of this new species from Djampea. The top of the head to the 

 nape, the surrounding of the eyes and ear-coverts, and connected with this black area 

 a band acros.s the jugulum black. Chin and throat white, rest of under surface orange- 

 yellow, a little more orange on the breast; thighs black, but with broad yellow tips 

 to the feathers; an indistinct yellow collar across the hindneck. Intcrscapulium, 

 back, and rump greenish olive-yellow, more or less mottled with black, caused by 

 the feathers being black towards the base; wing-coverts black, some of the larger 

 sometimes with narrow yellow edges ; upper tail-coverts black, sometimes narrowly 

 edged with olive-yellow ; wing-quills black, j)rimaries with narrow grey outer edges, 

 secondaries with pale brownish tips; tail black, tipped with olive-green. This is the 

 colour of the majority of specimens. The black lower parts of the feathers above are 

 more or less conspicuous, from the greenish olive-yellow edges being narrower or 

 broader. In a few specimens there are no black spots at all on the upperside. 

 These must, I think, be very old individuals, as a bird just changing (by moult) from 

 the immature dress to that of the adult has a fair amount of black on the back, 

 though not on the rump. Perhaps, however, there is only much individual variation. 

 In the spotless individuals the yellow collar on the hindneck is also more visible, 

 while it is obsolete in the majority of specimens. The immature male is like the 

 adult jeraale. S. ad. "Iris crimson-lake; bill jet-black ; legs plumbeous or plum- 

 beous blue-grey; claws darker grey or brown." The /em«?e.s have the throat sometimes 

 quite white, sometimes less .so. The iris of the/em«/e and young male is brown. 



-Mr. Everett found this Pachycephala common on the island of Djaujpca. It 

 resembles P. fidvoHncta Wall, from Flores (Gadow, Cat. B. VIII. p. 19(i), which also 

 varies somewhat, but has not so much orange on the breast, has the lesser wing- 

 coverts black, the back not uniform as a rule, the /enia/e somewhat different in colour.

 characterised in the/e(/if(/e. Tlie male very closely resembles that of E. amboinense
