2G8 Mr. E. Hargitt on the Genus Chrysophlegraa. 



lemon-yellow, varied with rufous; hind neck olive, varied 

 with rufous ; chin, throat, and cheeks black, spotted with 

 white, each feather with two minute spots at the tip ; the 

 feathers of the lower throat margined with white at the tip ; 

 posterior half of the face, sides of the neck, fore neck, and 

 chest rich rufous ; underparts and under tail-coverts uniform 

 olive ; under wing-coverts rufous, varied with blackish olive. 

 Total length 11*0 inches, culmen 1'5, wing 5"0, tail 4'2, 

 tarsus 0*9 ; toes (without claws) — outer anterior 0*8, outer 

 posterior 0"65, inner anterior 0*6, inner posterior 0*35. 



Adult female. Differs from the adult male in having the 

 outer edge of the forehead and crown rich rufous, this colour 

 forming a conspicuous stripe over the eye ; cheeks and chin 

 rich rufous, the middle of the throat alone being brownish 

 black, each feather having two spots of white near the tip, 

 the lower feathers of the throat similar to these, but having 

 their tips rufous. Total length 11*0 inches, culmen 1*45, 

 wing 5'6, tail. 4'2, tarsus 0*95. 



Fledgling. In general coloration resembling the adult, but 

 very much duller, especially on the head and underparts, the 

 top of the head and the face being very dusky, almost black ; 

 the chief differences, however, being in the markings of the 

 cheeks, chin, and throat, the cheeks having dull rufous 

 striations, the chin and throat not having the spotted cha- 

 racter of the adult, the feathers having more of a buffy white 

 apical margin, duller upon the chin ; lesser wing- coverts 

 dull olive, spotted with red. 



This bird being rare in collections, I give the chief points 

 in which it differs from C. squamicollis. In the present 

 species the chin and throat are spotted with white, not 

 striated ; the apical half of the outer webs of the primaries 

 and also the apical portion of the secondaries are uniform ; 

 the rufous spots on the quills are very much smaller and less 

 conspicuous, being, on the inner webs of the secondaries, 

 small rounded spots, not bar- like and not crossing the whole 

 of the web; the yellow nuchal crest is shorter and less 

 brilliant. It is also larger than the Malaccan species.
