CRINIGER SORDIDUS, new species. 



Type.—02^t. No. 169893, U.S.N.M.; male adult, Khow Sai Dow, 

 Trong, Lower 8iam, 2500 feet, February 14, 1899; Dr. W. L. Abbott, 

 collector. 



Upper surface of bead bistre, somewhat darker on crest; lores, a 

 narrow orbital ring, and a small spot above and posterior to eye, pale 

 smoke gray; cheeks and ear-coverts brownish gray, the latter with 

 lighter shaft streaks ; throat pure white; breast and abdomen deep 

 yellowish buff, washed with smoke gray on the former; under tail- 

 coverts brownish buff, the feathers with paler tips; sides of body pale 

 olive; sides of neck, back, scupulars, rump, and wing-coverts, olive, 

 with a brownish wash on the latter, darkest on the primary coverts. 

 Upper tail-coverts, tail, and wings, deep bistre, lighter on the first 

 named; inner webs of wing-feathers blackish brown, with a narrow 

 edging of pale wood brown on under surface; under wing-coverts yel- 

 lowish buff. " Length, 9^ inches." 



Dimensions. — Wing, 4.30 inches; tail, 4 inches; tarsus, 0.83 inch; 

 culmen, from base, 0.82 inch. A series of nine skins, all of which differ 

 from 0. (jutturalis in their greater dimensions, proportionally longer crest 

 and tail; the crest is paler; the back, rump, and sides of chest have 

 less greenish olive; there is practically no yellow on the under parts 

 and under wing-coverts; the tips of rectrices and borders of inner webs 

 of same are not of a pale shade as in G. gutturalis. The nearest rela- 

 tive of G. sordidus is probably G. rujicrissus Sharpe, of Borneo, but of 

 this form I have no specimens for comparison.
