primaries fawn-colour; bill and feet blackish. Total length 6*3 

 inches, culmen - 58, wing 325, tail 2 - 8, tarsus 0"85. 



One specimen of a Bradyornis, which I am unable to refer to any 

 known species. It is allied to B. jyallidus, Mull., but is smaller, 

 darker, and above all distinguished by its dark fawn-coloured under 

 wing-coverts.
