 into olive-brown on tlie back and fnlvons on the rump and 

 upper tail-eovcrts. It further resembles IS. ci/anuroptera and

 Hanks washed with vinous grey. It differs from S. cyanu- 

 roptera and resembles S. surdida in having no white tips to 

 the bastard wing-feathers. From both it differs in having 

 only the inner webs of the outer pair of tail-feathers white 

 to the tip ; moreover, the feathers on the forehead, lores, 

 and chin are strongly washed with rusty piuk, though it is
