Obs. This remarkable Cajnto has no near allies. In having 

 a wholly Avhite throat it resembles C. 'huiculicoronatus J\, but

 across the chest are also points of difference. 



Dr. BoAVDLER Sharpe exhibited two skins of an appa-

 S. similis >S. sujjerciliari, sed supra niger, dorso pileo con-

 regioue praspectorali quoque nigra : corpore reliquo 

 subtus albo, nee vinaceo-griseo adumbi'ato. Long, 

 tot. 9-0 poll., culm. 1-3, alte 4:-8_, caudas 2'75, tarsi l-4o.
