adult males liave the frontal tufts and the outer portions of 
the secondaries narrowly edged with olive and the under 
parts washed with the same colour. The females have no 
frontal tufts_, but carry a small tuft of bristles on the chin : 
they are a little larger than the males^ and have no olive edges 
to the secondaries. The immature bird has no tufts, either 
on the front or on the chin; the upper mandible is blackish. 
This species is numerous in the forest. Whenever flying 
ants begin to swarm, numbers of these birds appear on the 
scene and catch them with aviditv.
