The female differs from the male in having the under wing-coverts 

 and axillaries white, conspicuously barred with slaty black; the under 

 tail-coverts are grayish white, less plainly barred with gray and 

 darker slate; the breast is like that of the male, but on the abdomen 

 and flanks there are almost obsolete bars of gray (the bars being of 

 about the same shade as the breast). Wing, 165-167 mm. 



An obviously younger female has the primaries, primary-coverts, 

 and secondaries narrowly edged with white; the rump and upper tail- 

 coverts are barred with blackish slate and tipped with white; the > 

 l>reast and abdomen are white, with slaty black bars, mingled on the > 

 breast with new, unbarred, gray feathers. 



The male resembles that of G. swnatrensis and G. lnmgurensi% but 

 is a little paler, both above and below, and the under wing-coverts are 

 obscurely barred. It is larger than G. sumatremis, and about the 

 size of G. himgurensis^ but the bill is longer and broader (about 18 

 mm. broad in Imngurensis^ and 20 mm. in simalairensis). 



"Common in the forest, generally in parties of three to five." 



In addition to G. hahiensis and G. simalurpisis^ the following spe- 

 cies, related to G. sumatrensis^ have been described from islands off 

 the west coast of Sumatra: G. crissalis Salvadori (Mentawei group), 

 G. enganeiuix Salvadori (Engano), and G. kannegieteri (Biittikofer) 

 from Nias.
