This new species belongs to the section of the genus Den- 

 drociita containing D. occipitalis and D. bayleyi, and comes 

 nearer to the former than to the latter. It would take its 

 place in the '' key to the species " given by me in the ' Cata- 

 logue of Birds' (vol. iii. p. 7Q) in the following manner: — 



d'. under tail-coverts orange, like the abdomen. 

 c". two centre tail-feathers gi'ey, with black 

 ends, 

 c'". head and back brown, with a large 



patch of white on the occiput and nape occijntaUs. 

 d'". head and back ashy grey, with no 



patch on the nape and occiput cinerascens. 



d". two centre tail-feathers black ; head black, 



the neck uniform bayleyi.
