the Leyden Muséum measures, in maies and females, from 112 to 117 mm. Pitohui meridionalis 

 (Sharpe), which seems to be also a near ally, though the breast in this form is not black, is 

 larger; according to ROTHSCHILD and HARTERT (Nov. Zool. X, 1903, p. 94) the wing in 

 maies has a length of 130 to 132 mm., in a supposed young female 126 mm.

Thèse four examples apparently belong to an undescribed species of the genus Pitohui. 

 They somewhat resemble P. ferrugineus, but they are much duller brown and considerably smaller. 

 N os . 38 and 243 seem to be adult birds, n os . 47 and 48 are still young ones. Above dark 

 brown, feathers of rump slightly tipped with pale ochraceous ; upper tailcoverts and tail with 

 a slight rufous tinge; under surface dull yellowish white, breast mottled with dark brown, 

 throat, vent and sides of body washed with dark brown; axillaries yellowish white; under 

 wingcoverts ochraceous white; quills blackish, outer webs dark brown, inner webs margined 

 with buff; under tailcoverts dull yellowish white with slight dark shaftstripes.
