ILLUSTRATIONS OF ORNITHOLOGY. 
Crown uniform sepia brown ; superciliary streak and anterior 
feathers of the temporal tufts white, the medial feathers of these 
tufts are pale fulvous on their inner, and speckled brown and ful- 
vous on their outer webs ; the posterior ones are nearly uniform 
brown. Round the eye is a narrow ring of black feathers, and 
beneath it a patch of rufous, blending into the deep fuscous of the 
auricular regions. The bristly feathers of the lores and chin are 
white at their base and black at their ends ; they project one fourth 
of an inch beyond the tip of the beak. Back, scapulars, tertials. 
and wing-covers, deep fulvous, densely and minutely speckled wit 
fuscous. The external row of scapulars have a large, rounded, 
subterminal white spot, and three or four fulvous bars on then 
outer webs. There is a similar round white spot on the outer veh> 
of five or six of the medial wing-covers. All the remiges fuscous, 
margined externally with rufous brown, and furnished with three 01 
four broad sub-basal bars of pale fulvous on their inner webs. The 
third, fourth, and fifth primaries, have each three sub-basal fulvous 
spots on the outer webs. Lower wing-covers fulvous, barred with 
fuscous. Under parts pale fulvous, densely speckled with fuscous. 
The feathers of the throat have an indistinct medial brown streak 
on each. The breast is considerably darker and more thickly 
speckled than the rest. On the belly the speckling assumes au 
indistinctly barred or zigzag appearance. Tarsi feathered to the

tail-covers very pale fulvous, with very remote pale brown bars. 
Medial rectrices and outer webs of the lateral ones rufous, speckled 
with fuscous ; inner webs of the latter fuscous, with eight or niue 
broad bars of pale fulvous, confluent at the margin of the feather.

siderably emarginate on the distal half of tlieir outer webs, and
