GOLDANA CAPISTRATOIDES. 
“ Myiothera capistratoides, Tenirn — V erreaux, MS. 
This bird, like the £ ‘ Myiothera capistrata ” of Temm., PI. Col. 
185, f. 1, from the similarity to which it takes its name, belongs 
to Mr. Blyth’s genus Goldana , which differs from Malacopteron , 
Eyton, in the feebler and more slender form of the beak. It 
closely resembles G. nigrocapitata (Eyton), the chief difference 
being the darker colour of the cheeks in the present bird. Like 
all its congeners, it is distinguished by the long dense and downy 
texture of the uropygial feathers.

the eye to the hind head ; lores, cheeks, and ear-covers, dark 
fuscous grey ; back and wings nearly uniform ferruginous brown ;

pure white ; breast pure ferruginous, passing into whitish on the 
belly, and into ferruginous brown on the sides, vent, thighs, and 
lower tail-covers ; upper mandible fuscous ; lower, white ; feet
