 of the underparts paler bnff.

A second specimen of P. soror Wardlaw Ramsay, which was 

 collected by Dr. J. J. Vassal in the neighbourhood of Nhatrang, 

 Annam, like the type, has the fea/thers of the fore-neck and upper 

 chest black tipped with buff or buff with a black median spot. I am 

 uncertain whether this is a specific character or merely indicative 

 of youth. No trace of these markings is to be found in the types 

 of P. douglasi.

Hargitt (Cat. Birds B.M. xviii. pp. 393, 403) says that Hainan 

 birds differ from M. fokiensis not only in being smaller but in 

 having the middles of the feathers of the chin and throat 

 unicolorous with the underparts. In this he is no doubt 

 mistaken, for in the freshly moulted pair procured by Mr. Douglas 

 the feathers of the chin and throat are black edged with sandy- 

 rufous just as in M. fokiensis. The specimens obtained by Swinh oe 

 in February are all in worn plumage and at first sight appear to 

 have the chin and throat uniform, but a careful examination 

 reveals the fact that this is not really the case.
