Adult male. Similar to P. bicolor, but with the black much less 

 extended on the chest, the abdomen pale ashy, the under tail- 

 coverts yellowish white with dusky centres, the under wing-coverts 

 olive-yellowish : " bill dusky brown, the lower mandible lighter ; 

 legs and claws dusky brown ; iris dark brown " (E. Neivton). Total 

 length 3-8 inches, culmen 0-4, wing 2-05, tail 1*6, tarsus 0-6. 



The series in the British Museum seems to prove the existence of 

 a race of P. bicolor worthy of separation as P. marchii ; but Mr. Cory 

 believes that there is only one species, and he unites the birds from 

 all the islands.
