of yellow, and also the under wing-coverts, and it has the 
throat slaty grey and the ear-coverts slaty black, instead of 
glassy black like the head. Total length 6.3 in., culmen 0.5, 
Miners 1, tail 3:2. tarsus. 0.55. Lhe’ female of P. zgneus 
differs very much from the female of P. wray7in being entire- 
ly bright yellow below and in having a scarlet rump. The 
nearest ally of P. wrayd as regards the female plumage is 
that of P. brevirostris, but P. wrayz is of a darker slate-grey, 
has a brighter yellow lower back and rump, no yellow on the 
forehead, and the chin white. 
The males of P. neglectus and P. brevirostris differ in their 
glassy black throat and fiery crimson, not scarlet, under sur- 
face. 
While on the subject of the genus Pericrocotus, | may 
mention that Count SALVADORI very kindly sent me over the 
types of his new species from Tenasserim, and I am able to 
state with certainty that P. rubrolimbatus, Salvad., Ann. Mus. 
Cues Genoy. (2) Vv, p. 582; is==P. solaris, and P. puicher-

‘“Trides dark brown; legs and feet black.” 
This is a beautiful bird, but I feel grave doubts whether it 
is anything more than a yellow variety of P. wrayi, the red 
part in P. wrayt being golden yellow in P. croceus, and the 
throat is darker, being black like the cheeks and sides of face. 
Total length 6.1 inches, culmen 0.45, wing 3.4, tail 2.95, tarsus
