Adult. Very closely allied to, if not identical with, 0. albivcntrls, 

 from wliich it apparently difl'ers in having the feathers of the sides 

 of the face and upper part of the neck rather rounded and olive- 

 brown, whereas in 0. cdbiveniris they are more pointed, of a greyish 

 colour, and whitish at their extremity. The belly and underparts 

 of the body are darker, as in 0. (juttata. 



In adopting Lesson's name for this bird I have followed Gray, and 

 Sclatcr and Salvin, but it is exceedingly doubtful what bird he 

 really referred to, and his description might equally apply to one 

 of the other allied species.
