is equally bright througlioutj including vent and under tail- 

 coverts. In habits, judging from this single example, it 

 appears to be as skulking as G. trichas, but it was procured

 species.

 of the town and also the thick bush. It has a peculiar 

 habit of making a hole at the base of the petals of the
