<$ vix adult. "Iris yellowish cream-coloured ; upper man- 

 dible black, lower light horn ; feet dirty slate-coloured." 



The bird from Davao killed in February has the black 

 breast-feathers more or less edged with buff, especially down 

 the middle of the chest ; in the male killed at Piso in April 

 only one or two feathers shew traces of buff edgings ; both 

 birds appear to be fully adult, so probably these buff edgiugs 

 are characteristic of the freshly moulted feathers and soon 

 disappear by abrasion.
