194 LANIID^. 



" In p. gutturalis, Lath., of N. S. Wales, the male has the basal 

 half of the tail grey aud always of the same tint as the back, and 

 the subtermiual blackish band extends towards the base for at least 

 one lialf of the total length : the yellow neck-band is well defined 

 on the back of the neck. In the females the lower part of the 

 chest is ashy grey, becoming white on the abdomen and under tail- 

 and wing-coverts. These differences will at once serve to distinguish 

 the two species.'' {Ramsay.)

Adult male (type of species). Very similar to the adult male of 

 P. vitieiisis or P. gutturalis, but having a light brown tail strongly 

 washed with yellowish green ; the inner web of the feathers is 

 rather dark brown, more greyish towards the tip. The tail of 

 another adult male (somewhat younger) is entirely yellowish green, 

 without any blackish brown colour on the inner web, thus resembling 

 P. Uttayei, from which it differs by its much smaller size. General 

 colour above olive-green, separated from the black head by a yellow 

 collar ; wings and their coverts black, externally edged with olive ; 

 tail-feathers olive-yeUow with a brown tinge, inner web blackish 

 brown, lighter towards the tip ; chin, cheeks, aud throat pure white, 

 separated from the deep yellow of the rest of the under surface by a 

 narrow black crescent, which is connected with the black of the 

 head ; under wing-coverts white, with a tinge of yellow ; under 

 surface of quills greyish, inner web edged with reddish brown, 

 especially in younger birds ; " iris dark brown " {Brenchley) ; " bill 

 black, feet ashy " {Layard). 



Female. Crown and sides of head reddish brown, a good deal of 

 which colour is also seen on the outer webs of the secondaries 

 and their coverts ; rest of quills brown, with light reddish inner
