^No. 1318. BIRDS OF NORTHWEST SUMA TRA -RICHMOND. 511 



! The female and immature male (with short tail) of T. procera 

 [resemble the female of 1\ nicoharlea^ having the back brown (between 

 wood brown and tawny olive), instead of cinnamon rufous, as in T. 

 ((ffinis; the under tail-coverts are russet, and the abdomen, sides, and 

 flanks are pale buff}' cinnamon, like nicobarica., not white as in affinis. 

 The}^ may be distinguished from nicoharica by the rather bluer shade 

 of the cap, while the young male has a gray throat, lores, and sides 

 of head, as in the females, not glossy greenish black as in the j^oung 

 male of nicoharica. 



The white plumage of T. msula7'is, if it has one, does not appear to 

 have been described. In the dark phase the cap is gray, instead of 

 black; it has a longer wing (93 mm.), but shorter tail than T. 

 procera. 



Six specimens, from Simalur, where it was found to be "common."

 down to the shafts. It resembles P. fiaviventrls., but is much less
