 little darker than the back, the sides of the face and nape being 

 rather darker still, but not black ; throat also grey, succeeded by a 

 patch of creamy white forming an indistinct collar. Total length 

 7'9 inches, culmen 0-7, wing 4-05, tail 3-7, tarsus 0-85.

 yellowish white, before which is a subterminal shade of darker 

 brown ; quills also edged with yellowish white ; under surface of body 

 gi'oyish white, mottled wdth brown centres to most of the feathers. 



Obs. In deference to the opinions of a practised observer in Mada- 

 gascar like M. Grandidier, I have here considered my C. major to 

 be only the adult male of C. caua. I was misled by the fact of two 

 of the smaller form having been marked as males by Pollen and Van 

 l)am, whose specimens are still in the Museum.
