300 Mr. ViGORs'sa/i<^ D?-. Horsfield's Description of the 



seldom found to vary at different times in the same species ] that 

 is, the colour of the under wing-coverts. These are ferruginous 

 in C. cineraceiis, and white fasciated with fuscous in the bird 

 now before us. We are therefore inclined to keep the birds 

 separate, until future observation in their own country deter- 

 mine the point ; expressing at the same time Mr. Caley's and 

 our own doubts on the subject

The specimen now described has much the appearance of a
