 tend backward, more narrowly, to just behind the eye ; a large sub- 

 orbital spot of clear yellow, separated from that of the forehead by a 

 narrow dusky loral streak. Malar region, chin, throat, and entire lower 

 parts, except anal region and crissum, very rich, pure gamboge yellow,

 of coverts very broadly tipped with pure white, forming two conspicuous 

 bands ; tail feathers black, edged with plumbeous, the lateral feather
