ANTHREPTES. 661 
“Characters of adult female * * *. Differs from females of An- 
threptes griseigularis in the absence of the grayish white chin and throat ; 
from A. chlorogaster in the yellower coloration of the middle under parts 
and greener upper parts; and from A. malaccensis only in the greater 
contrast of the canary-yellow of the middle under parts with the green 
color of the flanks, which in A. cagayanensis are pale oil-green, and in 
A. malaccensis olive-yellow. I have no female of A. wiglesworthi for 
comparison. Wing, 65; tail, 47; culmen (chord), 15.5; bill from nostril, 
12; tarsus, 15.8.” (Mearns.) -

“Two males from Borneo have the whole breast olive-yellow like the 
abdomen and flanks; the pectoral tufts are bright yellow, and therefore 
very conspicuous; under wing-coverts pale buff, edged with yellow; 
median wing-coverts, scapulars, sides of head, and ear-coverts very deep 
maroon-red.” (Gadow.)
