margins to the feathers ; up- 

 per breast imperfectly barred ; 

 rest of breast and lower parts 

 very closely barred with near- 

 ly straight bars. First or 

 bastard primary with three 

 rufous bands. Note, that in 

 preceding specimens some 

 have the first or bastard pri- 

 mary dusky, with 4 or 3 rufous 

 bands ; in one there is only 2 ; 

 in fibers this primary may be 

 said to be rufous, tipped dus-

 bands. This primary varies

 length.

 tippings 0'6; five transverse 

 0'12 bars; chin and throat 

 deep brown with narrow pale 

 rufescent margins to feathers ; 

 lower parts as in preceding,

 Singapore male, except that it 

 is larger, has a greater amount 

 of barring on the upper back, 

 and that the tail bars are 

 narrower. 

 105 Head as in Venang female ; nape 

 and entire upper parts so closely

 bars that but little chestnut re-

 as in first Singapore male ; 

 breast immaculate ; rest of
