with white. Chin, black. Feathers of ears and lores, smoky 
black ; the tips very narrowly mottled lighter. 
“There are bristles at the sides of the base of the upper man- 
dible, and in front of the eyes; and there are still more 
numerous bristles at the base of lower mandible, at its sides and 
underneath. 
“There is bare yellow skin, above and in front of the eyes, 
which is of a nearly golden yellow colour, with a very slight 
greenish tinge, in front of the eyes, and orange yellow above the 
eyes. Skin at base of lower mandible also bare for a short dis- 
tance towards the chin, and of a dull yellowish tinge. Hye-lids 
deep yellow. Inrides, bright golden yellow. Upper mandible, 
dark horn-colour, with a bluish ash-coloured patch at the sides 
of its base. Cere, yellow. Lower mandible, bluish ash-colour- 
ed, with adarker tip. Base of lower mandible, of a dirty yellow 
colour. 
“‘ Weathers of the nape and upper part of the back, hair brown, 
or umber brown, mottled towards their extremities, with a narrow 
edging of a dirty, fulvous ashy-white, or earthy-white colour. 
Sides of neck, of a dark, or blackish chocolate brown colour. 
Medial part of back and scapulars, dark blackish brown, very 
narrowly tipped with fulvous earthy whitish colour. Upper 
tail coverts, the same colour as the medial portion of the back ; 
but the shorter anterior feathers are tipped with a terminal 
edging of small white spots, and the longer, posterior feathers 
are tipped with a narrow white edgimg. ‘Tail, for about nearly 
half its length from the base, black, but becoming a little light- 
er, or of a brownish colour, towards the base; a few of the fea- 
thers, near their base, having solitary, exceptional blotches of a 
light fulvous, or dirty ash colour, mostly on the inner webs. 
Then follows, towards the centre of the tail, a broad transverse 
bar, with rather jagged, or undulating edges, which is white, 
mottled and marbled with ash colour, on the upper side of the 
tail, and white, marbled white, or watered pearl ash white, on the 
under side of the tail. Breadth of this bar about two and a half 
inches. Rest of tail, towards the tip, for about two and three 
quarter inches, black. The tail is then tipped with ash colour, 
and finally, (very narrowly), with white. 
“ The throat and breast have a very finely barred and mottled 
appearance ; the base colour of the feathers appears to be pale 
fulvous, which is closely and narrowly barred with dark black- 
ish brown on the throat, and barred with paler brown on the 
breast. I can best describe the colouring of the throat and 
breast of my specimen, by saying that it most nearly resembles 
the style of the colouring of the breast feathers of Syrniwn Ne- 
WAYeNse.
