124 LIST OF DIURNAL BIRDS OF PKET. 



taking the form of very imperfect bars ; in other respects it 

 agrees with No. 1. 



No. 5. Male, not fully adult, British Guiana (shot 10th 

 August). — The upper surface of this specimen agrees with 

 that of No. 4, except that the tail has three white bars beside 

 the tip; the vmder surface appears to me to indicate the 

 remains of immaturity, the white portions of the plumage 

 being everywhere more or less tinged with buff, except the 

 throat, which is pure white ; the dark cross bars are very 

 narrow, and the buflFy-white interspaces the reverse, being 

 from "10 to "20 of an inch in depth; the cross-barring does 

 not extend below the breast, except very slightly on the outer 

 tibial feathers, and it does not exist on the under wing- 

 coverts, except very slightly towards the edge of the wing ; 

 the axillai'ies are pure white. In this specimen there is a 

 slight indication of the remains of a white nuchal collar 

 below the ear-covert on one side ; the entire loAver mandible 

 is yellow, and this colour extends on the upper mandible to 

 the point, as well as along the tomia. 



No. 6. Male adult, British Guiana (shot 6th October). — 

 This specimen has the following particulars attached to it by 

 the collector : — " Bill slate-colour, marked with yellow-ochre 

 at base ; eye white ; cere, legs, and toes orange ; claws 

 brown." The upper surface agrees with No. 4, except that 

 the throat instead of being plumbeous is white, as in No. 5, 

 and the dark cross bars on the upper breast are not wider 

 than the white interspaces; the wing-linings and axillaries 

 are less strongly cross-barred than in No. 4, the former 

 resembling those of No. 3. 



No. 7. Female adult , British Guiana (shot 25th November). 

 — From the same locality as No. 6, which it closely resembles ; 

 but the dark cross bars on the under tail-coverts are much 

 more strongly marked; it has the following particulars 

 attached to it by the collector: — ''Eye white; bill bluish 

 black ; lower (mandible) greenish yellow ; cere blood-orange 

 colour; legs and toes orange-yellow; claws horn-colour." 



No. 8. Female [unless wrongly sexed) in change, British 

 Guiana (shot 9th April). — This specimen has a decided tint
