No. 203. c?- Turquel, Suk, Jan. 25, 1890.— Irides brown;

 A young bird in very dark brown plumage, too dark, 

 indeed, to permit of its being identified with M. polyzonus. 

 The upper tail-coverts are white, barred with ashy, showing 

 that the adult bird is allied to M. polyzonus, but I have not 

 been able to identify the species satisfactorily.
