towards the outer web ; bastard-wing and primary-coverts black ; 

 quills black, with a large white mark on the base of the primaries ; 

 inner secondaries with a white spot on the inner web ; upper tail- 

 coverts black, tipped with white, the lateral ones with yellow ; tail- 

 feathers black, with a large white mark at. the tip, decreasing 

 gradually in extent towards the centre of the tail ; crown of head, 

 hind neck, lores, feathers round the eye, ear-coverts, cheeks, sides of 

 neck, throat, and fore neck black, some of the lower feathers black 

 tipped with yellow; breast, abdomen, sides of body, and flanks 

 yellow ; thighs yellow with black bases ; under tail-coverts white, 

 edged with yellow ; under wing-coverts and axillaries golden yellow, 

 the lower coverts black ; quills below black, with a large white patch 

 at the base of the inner web : " bill horny blackish above, the lower 

 mandible dark at the base and pale at the extremity ; feet blackish 

 brown ; iris dark brown " (Jelski). Total length 8 inches, culmen 1, 

 wing 4'4, tail 3'5, tarsus 1. 



The adult male appears to take some time in getting his full 

 plumage, and the amount of white on the outer tail-feather varies 

 greatly ; there is also a considerable amount of black spotting. 

 None of the specimens in the collection have their sexes determined, 

 and I am unable to say if the adult female resembles the adult male 

 in plumage, but this is most probably the case. 



The young bird has the wing and tail brown, and the whole upper 

 surface appears to be duller black, mottled with yellowish edges to 

 the feathers ; lores and a faint eyebrow yellow ; ear-coverts and 

 sides of face black ; cheeks and sides of neck yellow, mottled with 

 black spots ; entire under surface of body yellow, with black spots 

 on the throat and black bars on the lower flanks ; under tail-coverts 

 white.
