Part II. 



The two species are closely allied, hut Boucardi is not so 

 large, and the white spots on the wings are smaller.

Male. Upper part of the head and hind neck rufous-brown ; back 

 and wing-coverts olivaceous-brown, tinged with rufous ; tail dull rufous- 

 brown, but broadly blackish-brown at the end, with the extreme tip 

 greyish ; wings blackish-brown with rufous brown edgings ; cheeks and 

 sides of the neck light rufous connected by a band of the same color on 

 the hind neck ; throat greyish- white with a black line separating it from 

 the rufous cheeks, and a single row of longitudinal black stripes across 

 the upper part of the breast ; breast and abdomen dark greyish cine- 

 reous, whitish in the middle of the abdomen, and with a brownish tinge

This species resembles B. cinereiventris Scl., hut appears to 

 differ in having the head differently colored from the back, in 

 there being no postocular mark, and in having a nuchal collar ; 

 Mr. Sclater states that his species has the throat striated like 

 B. rufAjentris, whereas in mine the throat is clear grey, a-few^ 

 black marks existing only on the lower part of the neck, or 

 upper part of the breast. In the figure of B. cinereinentris, 

 P. Z. S. 1855, pi. 87, the rufous of the sides of the head extends 

 over and beyond the eye, in mine it terminates at the middle 

 of the upper eyelid. 



With these differences I can but regard them as distinct.
