OF NORTH-EASTERN CACHAR. 33 



Upper mandible, legs, feet, and claws, pale brown ; lower 

 mandible, horny white ; orbital, skin, fleshy tinged blue ; irides, 

 dark brown. 



Entire upper parts, olive brown, slightly duller on crown 

 and occiput, and with a distinct ferruginous tinge on central 

 tail-feathers and outer webs of quills and rectrices ; inner webs 

 of both these latter, dark hair brown ; lores, whitish ; feathers 

 immediately under the eye and ear-coverts, pale grey brown ; 

 the feathers of the ear-coverts, faintly paler shafted ; a bright 

 ferruginous patch behind aud below the ear-coverts ; a 

 conspicuous stripe of broadly white-shafted feathers runniug 

 backwards from above the eye on either side of the occiput 

 and nape over the ear-coverts and ferruginous patch, already 

 mentioned, and behind this latter spreading over the side of the 

 neck. The white of these feathers above the ear-coverts and 

 ferruginous patch, more or less margined with ferruginous, 

 but behind this patch, pure white, with indications of dark 

 margins. A few feathers of the centre of the nape with white 

 shafts with faintly indicated blackish bounding lines, chin, 

 throat, and most of upper breast and middle of abdomen, 

 white ; a band across the breast, and the sides of the breast 

 also white, but the feathers more or less broadly margined with 

 blackish grey, and with here and there a faint ferruginous 

 tinge ; flanks and lower tail-coverts, olive, with a faint 

 ferruginous tinge most noticeable on the latter, and many of 

 the feathers of the former with narrow white shaft stripes.
