 Closely allied to ^E. siparaja, from which it differs in the follow- 

 ing points : — (1) a few feathers near the base of the culmen are red ; 

 (2) the feathers of the throat and chest have the shafts light yellow, 

 which gives these parts of the body a yellow-striped appearance, 

 particularly along the middle of the upper throat ; (3) the basal 

 halves of these feathers are blackish ; (4) the under wing-coverts and 

 sides of breast are white, the lower breast and abdomen dark grey, 

 paling into yellowish towards the under tail-coverts ; (5) the central 

 pair of tail-feathers project. Culmen 0-6.5 inch, wing 1-95, tail 1-6 

 [2-2-2-4], tarsus 0-55. 



Ohs. In ^. temmincl-i and in ^. mystacalis the basal halves of 

 the red feathers of the throat and breast are grey or blackish ; in 

 ^■E. siparaja they are yellowish white. Some of the long feathers 

 of the sides of the back are dark brown . or grey, and are able to 

 conceal the bright rump-feathers. This applies to most of the species 

 of this group.
