58. DAMOPHILA. 235 



mandible flesli-colour, the tip black. Tutiil length aljout 3() inches, 

 wing 2 ; tail, central rectrices 0-9, lateral 1"3. 



Female ? Similar to the male, but with the middle of the abdomen 

 white, and the under tail-coverts nearly pure white. 



I am not sure that the birds described as females mti}^ not be 

 immature males. If so, the true female of this species is unknown 

 to me.

I am unacquainted with this bird, which appears to be closely 

 related to C. goudoti, but recognized as distinct by Count v. 

 Berlepsch.

Damophila has been applied by Elliot and others to TrocJiilus 

 amabilis, Gould ; but, on the whole, it seems better to keep it for 

 this genus and use Heine's title Pohjcrata for T. amabilis. The 

 question may be argued either way, but I prefer to use these names 

 in the same sense as Count Berlepsch.
