328 FRISTEDT, LIST OF BIRDS. 



To make 3 species of redbacked Malari, as Sharpe seems 

 to be inclined to, is without doubt ratlier too much. I think 

 two species are quite enough, perhaps they are all only varieties 

 of one species.

Tliis bird is very common in the open forests of ti- and 

 guratrees near the ranges south from Cardwell and it seems to 

 differ only very little from C. harmonica, Lath. (Gray). The 

 most important diflference is according to Sharps the lighter 

 colouring of the bill of C. pallidirostris, but the length and the 

 colour of the feathers of the two birds are so alike that I am 

 inclined to think that they are only varieties of the same 

 species. 



The iris of C. pallidirostris is brown with a very per- 

 spicuous tint of red.
