Males. T. L. 290, 285, 275, 295, .290, 285 ; W. 143, 135,

Female. T. L. 272; W. 138 ; Ts. 38 mm. 



The series is fairly uniform ; some birds, apparently rather 

 yonuger, have tlie sides of the breast less olive, more tinged 

 with I'ufous, and a greater proportion of olive-brovv'ii in the 

 feathers of the crown. The i'ernaie, wldch is a good deal 

 younger, has the foi'ehead and sui)ercilia browuisli bufl". 



In its pure white throat free from any tinge of butt" it is 

 evident that this form is disiinct, though not very markedly 

 so from the typical A. b. brunneipecius, which has not been 

 recorded from farther east than noith-western Siam. From 

 A. b. heurici, if the published description and figure by 

 Oustalet are to be relied on, it is much further removed.
