MANAKIN. 239 



or buff-colour; under tail coverts fine yellow; wings and tail black ; 

 on the ends of the wing coverts and second quills a white spot ; the 

 greater quills fringed with a paler colour at the tips; tail remarkably 

 short, all but the two middle feathers marked at the tips with white ; 

 legs dusky. 



The female, or one thought to be so, had the throat scarcely 

 tinged with yellow, but in other respects like the male. — Mr. 

 Francillon. Among this Gentleman's drawings, I observed one, in 

 which the head to below the eyes, neck behind, and back, are rufous 

 brown ; over the eye a pale streak, and above it a black one ; wings 

 paler brown, the coverts marked with pale spots ; the quills also 

 have a pale spot near the end ; tail dusky black, with a pale spot 

 at the end of each feather; and others about the middle of the four 

 interior ones; chin white, beneath pale brimstone; bill and legs 

 black. 



The former of these in the collection of Mr. Harrison, the latter 

 in that of Mr. Francillon.
