, This species, recently described by Dr. Reichenow from a 

 female specimen, appears to belong to a form intermediate be- 

 tween C. patiamensis and C. gniyi. It seems to resemble the 

 latter in having the back barred, but differs from both in 

 having the neck banded with black and white. Dr. Reichenow 

 says that during the two years this bird lived in the Zoological 

 Gardens at Berlin, the plumage underwent marked changes, 

 the white bars becoming more pronounced with age.
