I am indebted to the kindness of Prof. Paul Godet for the loan 

 of the type of this species, which is still preserved in the iluseum 

 at Nouchatel. It Ls a young bird in very poor condition, and its 

 •lencral coloration is brown without any olive shade ; the head is 

 brown, but there is a slight appearance of chestnut ; the under 

 surface also appears to have been light brown, rufescent on the 

 under tail-coverts ; throat white, with some bright rufous feathers 

 appearing : sides of face and ear-coverts slaty grey. Total length 

 5 inches, culmcn O'G.5, wing ;3'5, tail 1-1, tarsus l'4-5, middle 

 toe and claw 1-2. It is very possibly only an immature bird of 

 C. cai/anensis, but it is impossible to decide from such an imperfect 

 specimen.
