On two new species of Gerygone. 

 By E. P. Ramsay, F.L.S., &c. 



Gertgone inconspicua, sp. nov. 



This species comes near Gerygone chloronoius of Mr. Gould, but 

 differs in having a pure white throat, and the chest, breast, abdomen, 

 and under tail-coverts, citron yellow ; from G. albogularis it may 

 be distinafuished by having the tail of a uniform tint without any 

 bar, or white tips. A spot in front of the lores, and a ring round 

 the eye white ; a dark blackish spot under the eye, at the gape ; 

 flanks tinged with olive ; under wing-coverts white, washed with 

 citron color ; tail and wings brown above, the outer webs washed 

 with olive ; the quills lighter brown below ; shafts of the tail 

 feathers white at the base below, brown above ; all the upper 

 surface of the body olive brown tinged with green ; bill black, 

 legs and feet lead color. Total length from tip of bill 3*7 in., 

 wing 2*1 in., tail 1'7, tarsus 0*7, bill from forehead 0'5. Sex. <^ ? 



Hab. Scrubs on banks of Lalokie river, where Mr. Alex. Morton 

 informs me he obtained it among the leafy tops of the trees.
