dusky grey; abdomen and under tail-coverts pale cinnamon-rufous, crossed with 

 vermiculate hair-brown bars, the longest under tail-coverts darker and without bars; 

 under wing-coverts, axillaries and inner edges of quills where they rest 

 upon the body deep cinnamon-rufous; remiges below dark brown; tail strongly 

 graduated, the three outer feathers more or less cinnamon-rufous, with an ill-defined 

 subterminal blackish bar which is bluish grey below {[(f] near Manado, Aug. — Sept. 

 1893: Nat. Coll. — 10927). 



Adult male [younger?]. Like the above, but the cer\ical collar light metallic magenta-purple 

 instead of metalhc bronze-green; sinciput and throat light reddish cinnamon, instead 

 of whitish; the hair-brown bars on the under-parts narrower. "Iris of two rings, the 

 outer red, the inner bluish wliite; feet light red; bill black" ((^, Kema, 31. July, 

 1893: P.&F. Sarasin). 



Male assuming the adult dress. Ujiper surface varied with feathers of dull liver-brown 

 (new feathers!) Idee the adult, and with dusky bro^^^l feathers, broadly bordered and 

 penultimately barred and vermiculated with deep cinnamon-rufous (old feathers!) like 

 the young; cervix dusky brown, vermiculated with greyish and cinnamon (old fea- 

 thers); occiput and jugulum cinnamon-rufous; forehead and throat whitish; 

 under-parts much as in the adult male ([cf], Mantehage, 22. Ajml, 1893: Nat. 

 Coll. — C 12115). 



Yoimg. A specimen in what we take for the first plumage is blackish above, the wing- 

 coverts, inner quills, lower back and upper tail-coverts broadly tipped with deep 

 cinnamon-red, the feathers of hind-neck and mantle tipped and barred with paler 

 cinnamon; head and nape deep cinnamon-red, the bases and lower sides of the 

 feathers black; jugulum, lireast and abdomen deep cinnamon-red, the breast- 

 feathers crossed with subterminal dusky bars, those of the jugulum with most of the 

 base black; the black subterminal patches on the tail well-defined (Ruang Id., 

 31. August, 1894: Nat. Coll — C 134(34). 



Adult female. What we take for the old female is much like the young, but has the dark 

 reddish bars of the upper siu-face much narrower and more obscure, the plumage 

 approaching the almost uniform dull hver-browm of the male; head above and jugu- 

 hmi deep cinnamon-rufous ; under-parts paler cinnamon with indications of vermiculate 

 bars, best seen on the breast (Banka, 3'^'^ May, 1893: Nat. Coll. — 12116). 



Nest-young. A few days old, nearly naked; with sprouting quills, sprouting feathers on sides 

 of jugulum, thighs, back, etc. Ten primaries are present, as also a small greater co- 

 vert situated distally over the tenth, but there is no trace of an eleventh primary 



(Tomohon, 22. IV. 94: P.&F. Sarasin).
