' GREAT-BEADED TODY. 



This colour is separated from the back by the uppc 

 neck being entirely of the same cinereous as the 

 sides, chin, and throat ; but these two latter parts 

 are striped with white : the rest of the under plu- 

 mage is yellow, tinged with olive, and obsoletely 

 striped with cinereous on the breast and flanks.

 whitish; the latter with a broad transverse black 

 band on their terminal half; wings and tail brown ; 

 the feathers margined with yellowish ; tail-feathers 

 even, but remarkably narrow, with their tips more 

 pointed than in any of the Todies, but assimilating 

 in this respect to Lepturus.
