cast, which color is entirely lacking from the type specimen of 

 R. umbratilis. Nearly uniform olive-brown above (intermediate 

 between mummy -brown and olive of Ridgway's Nomenclature of 

 Colors), edges of wings and tail more tawny; sides of the face and 

 neck like the back, lores whitish and feathers behind the eye dis- 

 tinclly grayish. Below pure white, sides of body under the wings 

 pale olive, and a pronounced pectoral band of olive-brown darkest 

 at the sides. "Bill black. Iris brown. Feet purplish-fleshy" 

 (Abbott). 



Length (in flesh) 6f inches = 162 mm. ; wing, 74 mm. ; tar- 

 sus, 18 mm. 



Another specimen, obiained by Dr. Abbott on Linga Island, 

 July 14, 1899, is esseniially similar, and from both of them the 

 type of E. umbratilis differs in its distinctly tawny-brown coloration.

Two specimens from Lampong. 



In his description of this bird in the Catalogue of Birds, Dr. 

 Sharpe slates that the head of the adult is brown, and again that 

 in the young or winter plumage the head is " brown, not gray." 

 The specimens before me, which I take to be adult, have the head 

 distinctly gray all around in contrast to the olive back, throat 

 pure white and a broad gray collar joinmg the gray of the sides 

 of the neck and separating the white throat from the yellow abdo- 

 men. Two other examples from Java, kindly loaned by the U. S. 

 National Museum, have the appearance of being young birds in 

 Juvenal plumage, with shorter bills and duller coloration. Head 

 uniform olive-brown like the back, lores and stripe to the top of 

 the eye white.
