[I met with one specimen of this species during my first 

 expedition in 1887 in a bamboo-juugle at 4000 feet on Kina 

 Balu, but it was so much destroyed by shot as to be useless 

 for identification. During the next expedition it was found 

 more plentifully in the stretch of old forest close to the 

 foot of the mountain, where it frequented the low growth 

 and large jungle-plants near the ground. 



Bill and eye black; legs light brown, paler at the back.]
