AJulf m(d(\ — Most nearly allied to P. croceus^ Sharpe, 

 from the south of the Malay Peninsula, but differs in having" 

 an oblong oranoe-3ellow mark on the terminal portion of the 

 outer web of the six median secondary quills ; the chin and 

 throat glossy black, like the crown and mantle, and the 

 breast and underpai-ts deep yellow, less tinged with orange. 

 The tail-feathers are black, tipped with orange, increasing 

 in width, so that the outer pairs have the terminal half 

 orange. The iris black or very dark brown ; and the bill 

 and feet black. 



Total length about 6*5 inches ; wing, 3-3 ; tail, 3'2 ; 

 tarsus, OM). 



Adult female. — Differs considerably from the female of 

 P. croceus in having a narrow bright yellow band across the 

 forehead continued backwards over the lores in short super- 

 ciliary stnj)es ; the chin, throat, and all the yellow parts of 

 the plumage bright yellow instead of orange, the six median 

 secondary quills with an oblong j^ellow mark on the ter- 

 minal half of the outer web. 



From the female of P. leytensts, Steere, it is easily dis- 

 tinguished by the narrower and much brighter yellow band 

 across the forehead, as well as by the shining blackish-gre}' 

 crown and mantle.
