 a black spot on the inner one; in the second specimen the four 

 outer feathers on each side are without any black at all; rictal 

 bristels black; fore-head rather narrowly margined with brownish 

 buff; lores and in front of the eye white (but the State of the 

 skiüs prevents me frora seeing the limits of this colour on the 

 sides of the head); wings dark brown, all the feathers broadly 

 edged with olive-shaded yellow excepting towards the endes of the 

 primaries; entire under surface bright yellow, under wiug-coverts
