babbling notes, which are not unpleasant, are generally heard 
towards evening.

The measurements of both our specimens (adult and 
young females) are larger than in typical C. albigularis. 
We shall, however, refer our birds to that species until 
further material is forthcoming. There is only one example 
(the type) in the British Museum. It has the following 
measurements : — Total length 5*8 inches, culmen 0'7, wing 
2-7, tail 2-4, tarsus 0-75. 
Adult ? (Prahsu). Total length (measured in the flesh) 
7 inches, culmen 0*7, tail 3*4, tarsus 0*8. Iris hazel ; upper 
mandible brown, lower light horn-coloured; legs and feet 
brown. Our immature specimen has the white throat washed 
with buff.
