502 MR. R. B. SHAEPE ON THE 



brown, veined with streaks and spots of ashy whitish, the nape- 

 feathers edged with the latter colour ; lores, feathers above the 

 eye, entire sides of face, and throat uniform black ; fore neck and 

 chest entirely pinkish fawn-colour, forming a large plastron, suc- 

 ceeded by a band of black across the lower breast ; centre of the 

 body and abdomen pure white, the flanks regularly barred with 

 black and white ; thighs and under tail-coverts black ; under 

 wing-coverts buffy white, the edge of the wing minutely barred 

 with black and white : wing-coverts above sienna-brown ; quills 

 light brown, externally washed with sienna-brown, ashy brown 

 below, edged with buff along the inner web. Total length 3'8 

 inches, culmen 0*4, wing 2, tail 1'55, tarsus 0'6. 



This species is a representative of the Australian Donacola cas- 

 taneotJiorax, to which it is closely allied, but from which it is dis- 

 tinguished by its entirely black face, withoiit any brown streaks 

 on the ear-coverts, and by its dark head, which, instead of being 

 entirely ashy, is blackish, only spotted with ash-colour. I had 

 already discriminated this species and described it in full when I 

 got Mr. Eamsay's paper with a name for it, and am glad that he 

 also considers it distinct.
