Adtilt males (four, Aniboina, December and April). — General 

 colour of back brownish Isabella slightly lightened with pale 

 wood-brown, more conspicuousl}' so on rump, and shaded on sides 

 of back and on tibiaB with pale Front's brown (darkest extreme) ; 

 or, owing to a much stronger development of the pale element, 

 almost buffy wood-brown, deeper (more tawny or light russet) 

 along sides of back and on tibiae (the others) ; concealed base of fur 

 in any case dark brown. — Underside of body greyish buff, j'cliowish 

 bufi', or cream bufl", with strongly contrasting (but in tiie arranged 

 fur concealed) dark brown bases to the hairs. — Mantle, sides of 

 lieck, and foreneck ochraceous buff, or cream buff, or these two 

 tinges mixed, the ocliraceous tinge, if present, confined to the 

 extreme tips of the hairs, the subapical portion in any case buff 

 or cream buff, the base always strongly contrasting dark brown.

 and throat more greyish in tinge; lores and a narrow circumocnlar 

 ring dark brownish. 



Adult females (two, Araboina, April). ^ — Distinctly paler than

 doubtful. Eack shiny cream-white (one), or this coloiir distinctly 

 tinged with pale Isabella (the other), the creamy tinge becoming 

 deeper along sides of back and on tibia;; base of fur dark brown. — 

 Underside of body dull greyish white slightly washed with cream-

 similar, but somewhat shaded with greyish; lores and circumocular 

 ring as in males.
