 most marked on the head and nape. The rump, upper tail-coverts, and shoulder-coverts are 

 almost uniform olive-grey, the brown centres not being very evident. The whole of the wing- 

 feathers are brown edged with albescent. The first primary conspicuously edged with greyish 

 albescent, as in C. richardi and C. rnfula. Between the base of the bill and the eye is a bold 

 patch of albescent feathers, which are continued over the eye rather more narrowly, and then 

 dilate into a broad albescent stripe above the ear-coverts. Lores brown, bordered underneath 

 by an albescent stripe, which extends below the eye and loses itself in the cheek. Ear-coverts

 breast-feathers with narrow dark brown centres. Middle pair of rectrices brown, with albescent 

 fringes ; outer pair almost pure white ; penultimate pair white, with half of the inner web
