Sir Stamford Raffles in his description of this species evidently 

 omitted describing the rump as yellow. This I find is the case upon 

 examining a typical drawing from his collection, and also specimens 

 before me from Pinang. 



Jardine' s description of N. lathami certainly agrees with this spe- 

 cies, both in the colour of the crown, and deep yellow of the rump, 

 and in the gradation of the tail-feathers ; but I have still some doubt 

 about Temminck's N. mystacalis.
