Capt. Wardlaw Ramsay has kindly lent me the pair of birds shot 

 at Zamboanga by Mr. A. Everett. The female agrees in plumage 

 with the type ; but the male has the lores, sides of face, and entire 

 throat black, leaving only the ear-coverts white. The head is 

 slightly washed with blackish, showing an approach to 0. nigriceps. 

 Total length 5 inches, culmen 0-65, wing 1-85, tail 2-15, tarsus 

 0*9. The measurements agree almost exactly with those of the type. 

 The female collected by Mr. Everett, which answers in plumage to 

 the typical specimen, measures — -total length 4-7 inches, culmen 

 0-65, wing 1-8, tail 1-7, tarsus 0-8.
