 patr. incert. 



The yellow stria on the throat-feathers of this species appear 

 to exist in fully-plumaged males, and, while being a sign of 

 adolescence in ^. miles, accompany maturity in ^. flavostriata. 

 I add Dr. Salvadori's title, as a synonym, with some doubt, 

 not having had an opportunity of examining his type. The 

 JEthopyga (sp. non descr.) from Menado, in M. Verreaux's col- 

 lection, with the abdomen almost black, mentioned by Dr. Salva- 

 dori (/. c), cannot well be anything else than ^.flavostriata.

 1867 (May), p. 173, t. 15, 6 adult,, " decouverte dans le nord 

 de la Chine.'' 



Crown, chin, throat, spot on the parotic region, and a 

 detached stripe on each side of the lower part of the neck, 

 metallic violet. Remainder of head, neck, back, and scapulars 

 deep red, becoming lighter on the breast at its lower part, where 

 it merges into a yellow tint, which colours the rest of the under 

 parts as well as the uropygium. Tail long, tipped with whitish, 

 most apparent on the underside. Middle rectrices twice the length 

 of the others, and, with the upper tail-coverts, metallic steel- 

 colour. M. Verreaux observes that the whitish edgings of the 

 outer rectrices distinguish this bird from all the known species 

 of JEthopyga. There must be some mistake about its habitat ; 

 Cochin China is probably intended. Mr. Anderson has lately 

 obtained this species in Yunan.
