 Pileum, cervix, back, scapulars, sides of head, and sides of neck,

 gray; lining of wing yellowish white. 



Four specimens are in the collection, as follows: 



1 This specific name is derived from Totyuvos and 6rlyna; and when Latinized should undoubtedly be 

 treated as an adjective. Thus after dicaeum, a neuter name, it should be trigonoitigmum, not trigono- 

 stigma, as usually written.
