The colour of the centre of the abdomen varies, in one 

 specimen being almost pure white, while in some the dark 

 edging to the feathers of the back is almost absent. The 

 immature bird is more rufous and the under surface is more 

 uniform and throat bufi^y. 



The bird is a ground-feeder. 



There is little doubt that this bird is either congeneric 

 with R. malacoptilns or represents a distinct genus inter- 

 mediate between Rim at or and the gravivox section of 

 Pomatorhinus.
