occiput as well as the forehead and vertex being red, and by 

 the bill being shorter. The eje is surrounded bj red, which 

 extends some way behind it, whereas in tnie M.Jiilvus the white- 

 spotted grey feathers of the occiput commence at the posterior 

 part of the eye, and separate the red of the vertex from that 

 of the face. 



$ . Differs from true M.fulvus ? (ex Menado) by having 

 the white-tipped feathers of the head restricted to the occiput, 

 by the spots being smaller and not so profuse, and by the 

 white dots on the throat being almost obsolete.

 massive, by the abdominal region and under tail-coverts being 

 of the same colour as the breast, and not rufous, by the upper 

 tail-coverts being black, and not rufous, and by the rectrices 

 having a black band at their insertion.
