to the present species. Tliey ditFer from the female of 

 F. coqui ill having the black lines over tlie eye and round 

 the throat almost obsolete, the greater part of the basal 

 two thirds of the inner primaries and secondaries chestnut^ 

 and the general tone of the top of the head and upper 

 parts dull grey, with only narrow bars of rufous buff here 

 and there. Possibly these birds may represent a distinct 

 species, but in the absence of male specimens it is impossible 

 to say.
