throat pure white ; rest of under surface of body bright yellow, 

 paling on the thighs and under tail-coverts ; under wing-coverts 

 white, the quills greyish brown, with white edgings along the 

 inner webs. Total length 3-4 inches, culmen 045, wing 2-15, tail 

 1-45, tarsus 07. 



This species is allied to G. palpehrosa, but is ashy above instead 

 of green, and has not a black ring round the eye ; the quills are 

 margined with whitish instead of olive, and the white markings 

 on the tail are a very peculiar characteristic. A specimen from 

 N.W. Australia {EJsey) appears to belong to the same species.
