during our sojourn in that country, especially by exempt- 

 ing us from paying import and export duties. 



L ania r iu s zosterops, n. sp. 



Laniarius sulfur eiptctus , Butt. N. L. M. 18S8, p. 87. 



About similar in size and general coloration to L. sulfu- 

 reipectus (Less.), but the bill as large as in L. multicolor, 

 the olive parts darker green than in the first, and no yellow 

 on front aud superciliary region. 



Forehead , crown , nape. , hind neck , sides of neck and 

 mantle bluish gray; lower back, rump, upper tail-coverts 

 and entire tail , with the exception of the broad sulphur- 

 yellow tips and inner edgings to the four outermost pairs, 

 green , and also the lesser, median and larger wing-coverts, 

 innermost secondaries and outer web of outermost second- 

 aries and primaries. Inner web of quills blackish brown, which 

 color occupies the whole terminal part of the inner primaries 

 and nearly the whole surface of the two outermost quills. 

 Innermost primaries minutely, secondaries broadly tipped, and 

 all the quills, except the two outermost, broadly edged inside 

 with sulphur-yellow, the larger series of wing-coverts very 

 narrowly tipped with the same color. No blackish subterminal 

 bar before the yellow tips on wing and tail. A tolerably broad 

 band, extending from the front and running along the 

 lower edge of the eye to the ear-coverts , and also the 

 latter darker gray than upper surface of head. Upper aud lower 

 eyelid grayish white, contrasting with the surrounding 

 parts. Whole lower surface, thighs and under wing-coverts 

 bright yellow, the sides of body tinged with green ; the 

 chest, which is paler yellow than the rest of lower sur- 

 face , has probably been orange-yellow, a color which is 

 not able to stand the influence of spirits , in which the bird 

 was preserved. Iris blue, bill black, feet sooty brown. 

 Wing 8,8 cM.; tail 8; culmen 0,8; tarsus 2,3. 



A probably fully adult female from the Du Queah River.
