 the primaries rather paler; tail-feathers dark brown, externally

 eyebrow extending from the base of the bill to the sides of 

 the hinder neck, and skirting the black crown ; lower edge of 

 hinder ear-coverts rufous-brown ; sides of neck rufous-brown, with 

 orange-rufous shaft-streaks ; cheeks and entire throat white ; fore 

 neck and entire breast bright orange-rufous or tawny, the sides of 

 the body, flanks, lower abdomen, vent, thighs, and under tail-

A male, labelled Sibu, and procured by Mr. Everett on the 28th 

 of February 1875, has the iris " crimson." I can discover no dif- 

 ference in colouring from the male above described, excepting that 

 the ear-coverts are somewhat blacker. 



Adult female (Paku, Dec. 1878; H. Everett). Apparently iden- 

 tical with the male in colour, but is a little smaller ; " iris crimson" 

 {H. E.). Total length 5-4 inches, culmen 0-75, wing 2*4, tail 1-9, 

 tarsus 1'2.
