tl36. Drymosca swanzii, sp. u. 

 D. affinis D. laterali, sed supra cinerascens, vertice suhrufo et 

 ala breviore distinguenda. 



Fore part of the head dull rufous-browu ; upper portion of 

 the body ashy-grey ; wing-coverts greyish-brown ; edge of the 

 wing pale yellow ; quills dull brown^ the secondaries paler and 

 indistinctly undulated in certain lights, the outer web broadly 

 washed with bright rufous, the inner web pale rufous at the 

 base ; tail ashy-grey, the middle feathers indistinctly undulated 

 in certain lights, and all the feathers rather broadly barred 

 across the tip ; under surface of the body fulvous-white ; sides 

 of the body grey, but more distinctly fulvous on the lower 

 flanks ; thighs pale rufous ; bill black, the lower mandible yel- 

 low at the base; legs pale rufous. Total length 4*3 in., bill 

 •55, wing 2'2, tail 1'7, tarsus '7. 



This species I am unable to reconcile with any description. 

 The British Museum also has a specimen, but with no name 

 attached to it, and I have no alternative but to describe it as 

 new. It is closely allied to D. lateralis, Fraser (P. Z. S. 1843, 

 p. 16), but differs in being slightly smaller, in the dull-rufous 

 forehead and the shorter wing, in addition to the grey colour- 

 ing of the upper surface.

tibiis rufescentibus : rostro corneo, mandibula fiava ; pedibus

Above very dark brown, paler on the rump, which inclines to 



rufous; feathers between the bill and the eye, extending backwards 



over the latter, white slightly tinged with fulvous ; wing-coverts
