This species of weaver-bird was discovered by the author : it 

 is very much Hkc /\ hojcri. Tliese birds have a golden brownish 

 rin'^- nnuid the neck ; the body is much yellower, and not 

 throughout of the golden hue of that of P. bojeri. The forehead 

 is real gold-coloured, but the nape of the neck is more of a 

 <^olden brown. The wings on both sides are not of the washed-out 

 yellowish tint, but more blackish-brown, and are marked by dis- 

 tinctive broad bands of a light golden colour. Length, about 155 ; 

 win'^s, about 75; tail, about 60; beak, about 16; height, about 

 22 mm. This beautiful weaver-bird builds its nest only over 

 the water. I found a number of golden cuckoos {Chrysococcyx 

 aipir/is, Bodd.) in the nests during March.

 The note of this bird bears some resemblance to the call of 



the chaffinch {Fn'ugiiia avlebs).
