Adult male. Similar to M. atricajnlla, but witii mucli more 

 extended black patch on the bell)^ this black extending nearly to 

 the throat, and leaving a very narrow chestnut band between ; 

 head and throat deep black : " bill pale grey ; feet dark grey ; iris 

 brown " (A. Everett). Total length 3*7 inches, culmen 0-45, wing 2, 

 tail 1*4, tarsus 0-G. 



Adult female. Similar to the male : " bill pale bluish grey ; leg8 

 darker grey ; iris red-brown " (A. Everett). Total length 4 inches, 

 culmen 0-45, wing 1-95, tail 1*25, tarsus 0-55. 



Probably identical with M. jagori is Munia minuta of Meyen*, 

 but the figure is so absolutely unlike any of these Black-headed 

 Weaver-Finches that I am obliged to leave the species unidentified, 

 as was also Lord Tweeddale. There are several specimens of black- 

 headed Munice from the Philippines in the Tweeddale collection 

 which show somewhat of a brown head, but a complete gradation 

 between the two forms appears to take place.
