Pachycephala neglecta. 



E. L. Layard, P. Z. S. 1879. p. 147. 



$. above, back obscure darkish green, with a small patch of 

 yellow oü the immediate rump; head shining jet-black, all but the 

 throat and chin, and a very small spot (not always present) between 

 tbe eye and the nostril, which is of the light brilliant yellow of 

 the whole of the underparts. In some specimens, a few straggling 

 black feathers on the lower part of the throat, encroaching on each 

 side of the chest^ seem to point to the formation of a narrow 

 black collar across the ehest, such as is fouud in my P. intermedia. 

 Wing primaries edged more or less broadly with greenish grey (tail- 

 feathers tipped with the same); secondaries broadly edged and tipped 

 with pale yellow. The yellow of the underparts is a little darker than in 

 F. flavifrons, agreeing as far as my memory serves, with P. intermedia, 

 of which lunfortunately havenot retained a specimen, but is far less deep 

 (orange-tinted) than is P. graeffii or P. torquata, Layard. Length 

 6",6"'; wing 3",9'-', tail 2", 10, tarsus 13'", bill (to gape) 12'". 

 Bill black; legs bluish; iris black brown.
