Adult male. Orbital region and a broad superciliary stripe of a ricli 

 rustj--rcd colour ; in the colour of all the upper parts of the body, 

 including the tail, this bird perfectly resem):)les the male of C. leu- 

 co]ihcea, whilst the under surface is coloured as in C. scandens ; 

 throat dull white ; a broad crescent of dull buii' across the upper chest, 

 but without any dark markings to the feathers of centre of fore neck ; 

 breast, abdomen, and flanks much like those parts in C. scandens, 

 but the two dark-brown longitudinal lines on each feather are broader, 

 and the broad edges all round the feathers are dark greyish brown 

 instead of pale buff. Iris brown ; bill and feet black. Wing 3-5 

 inches, tail 2-6. 



Female. Most of the feathers of the base of the fore neck and of 

 the upper chest are broadly edged with rich rusty red ; the buff 

 cross band is absent. 



Obs. Some feathers of the mantle in some specimens of either sex 

 have narrow whitish shaft-lines.
