the eyes white. A broad gamboge yellow stripe from bill, above and beyond 

 the eye ; a black band from commissure of bill across lower half and behind 

 the eye (apparently widening and abruptly truncated behind), and a much 

 less conspicuous black line from lower corner of the gonys, the two nearly 

 parallel, and coextensive with the superciliary yellow (the lower one cutting 

 off an infra-ocular white stripe). A well defined band of rufous brown across 

 the breast, the sides of body suffused with the same. Primaries edged ex- 

 ternally with whitish near the ends. Quills edged internally with yellowish. 

 Crissum and inner wing coverts white. Bill black ; legs yellow. 



(No. 447.) Total length, 6.00 ; wing, 2.85 ; tail, 8.00 ; exposed portion of 

 1st primary 1.00, of 2d, 1.80, of longest (5th) (measured from exposed base

 as far behind the eye as in front of it. 



For the opportunity of examining this species I am indebted to 

 Mr. Salvin.
