These examples are interesting on account of the differing 

 amount of distribution of the black on the head. In a, an individual 

 which has probably not reached maturity, the forehead alone is 

 black, the vertex is slightly streaked with that colour, and the 

 mantle is dusky. The abdomen is strongly tinged with rufous, 

 not white as in the other skins. In b the black is also confined to 

 the forehead, the vertex, occiput, and mantle being clear grey, but 

 on the cheeks the black does not pass beyond the ear-coverts, while 

 in c and d the head is black as far as the occipital region, and the 

 black passes over the ear-coverts on to the sides of the neck. The 

 last three examples have the abdomen pure white, and the secondaries 

 strongly edged with bufiish white. 



15. Pachycephala fulvotincta, Wallace.

Iris brown ; bill black ; tarsus bluish black. Length of wing 

 8"1 centims. ; tail 6"5 centims. 



From a comparison with the type in the British Museum collec- 

 tion, I have referred the present example to this species, though, 

 owing to my not having been able to obtain the male bird, the 

 diagnosis must be to a certain extent conjectural.
