 [Panaon, s , October.] 



Above dull olive-brown. Upper tail-coverts and outer margins of the wing-feathers a 



brighter olive-green. Kectrices above dark brown, some narrowly edged with olive-green. 



Cheeks greyish brown. Chin and throat greyish white. Breast pale grey. Abdomen, ventral

''■ "" ■ pure white. Bill, in dried skins, black. 



Wing 1-95, tail 1-00, tarsus 0-37, culmen 0-37. 



This Flower-pecker closely resembles Myzanthe fygmcea ? . It differs in wanting the lively 

 olive-green colouring of the upper plumage of M. py/jmcea $ , more especially on the uropygium, 

 and the pale yeUowish-green lores. The M'ing too is longer, that oi M. j^ygmcea measuring 1-70. 

 If the sex noted on the label is correct, this Panaon Dicceum is very distinct from M. pygmoea 6 . 

 If the genus Myzanthe, as distinct from Dicceum, is to be retained, J), modestum should belong 

 to it.
