 Lombock. Underneath it conspicuously differs in having the ventral plumage and the thigh- 

 coverts transversely banded with narrow brown lines, instead of being uniform pale rufo-fulvous. 

 The two outer pairs of rectrices in C. ajffinis are throughout pure white ; in these examples of 

 C. (jriseatus the inner webs of the basal third are pale ferruginous banded with brown.
