centres of the feathers are faintly perceptible ; on the rump the 
olive green is slightly yellower. The tail feathers have, I think, 
the faintest possible rufous tinge; but it is so faint that even 
in a good light one cannot be quite certain of it. The quills 
and tail feathers are margined with dull olive. The greater 
wing coverts are similar to the quills. The lesser and median 
similar to the back and scapulars. There are no pale 
tippings to any of the tail feathers. The chin and throat are 
pure, pale, sulphur yellow ; the middle of the abdomen is a 
brighter sulphur yellow, in some specimens very bright. The 
vent and lower tail-coverts are similar, but not quite so bright, 
and the latter of a somewhat different shade verging perhaps 
towards primrose yellow. The sides of the neck, the entire 
breast and the whole of the sides and flanks seem to have a 
ground of pale dull sulphur yellow densely overlaid with dull 
olive green, with, in some, a greyish or brownish tinge. The 
edge of the wing at the carpal joint and the wing lining primrose 
yellow, brighter in some specimens ; the inner margins of the 
quills, on the lower surface, a yellowish buffy white. The lores, 
orbital region, cheeks, and ear-coverts, olive green with more or 
less of a faintly dotted appearance, owing apparently to the 
brown bases of the feathers shewing through. 
This species is essentially a forest bird, and even where it 
was obtained, it was apparently rare. Like the rest of its con- 
geners at the time it was found to be feeding greedily on a 
small berry in company with Jvidia cyaniventris, Ixus plumosus, 
brunneus, pusillus, C. Finschit, §c. All of which, it has to be noted, 
except the first, exhibit a sort of general resemblance in tint 
and seem to have been specially designed to avoid notice in the 
leafy shades which they frequent. The note is that of the 
Crinigers, and it has the same habit of puffing out the feathers 
of the throat, that is so conspicuous in these.—A. O. H. -
