Ptilotis marmorata is the same as P. cinerea. The specimens with unspotted 

 undersurface are immature. This is distinctly shown by one of our specimens, 

 which has a uniform underside, while a fresh-growing feather shows the broad 

 whitisli tip. The figure on Pi. IV. Cat. ]i. Brit. Miis. ix. is sliocking, as it 

 represents blackish instead of whitish feather-tijis on the breast.
