the same, but are crossed by a broad white band on 
the outer half of the lesser covers, which band is 
continued in a longitudinal direction on the margins 
of two of the tertials ; the other quills, which are 
brownish black, have a very narrow edging of grey 
white ; the tail is glossy black, but the outer web of 
the exterior pair, and the extreme tips of the two 
next pair are pure white. All the under parts in 
the male are pure white, the breast being crossed 
by a deep black collar ; the naked caruncle is lobe- 
shaped, and placed just above the fore part of the 
eye, without surrounding it ; its colour seems to be 
pure yellow. 
In the supposed female, the upper plumage, in- 
stead of being glossy black, is dark grey, but the 
wings and tail are coloured .and marked precisely 
like those last described. The lobe above the eye 
seems to be orange-red, or perhaps, in the living 
bird, scarlet. In the under plumage there is much 
difference, the chin is pure white, which is con- 
tinued in a stripe which joins the lower eyelid ; 
beyond this, and as far as the upper part of the 
breast, the colour is of a very deep chestnut, which 
terminates abruptly and with a narrow edging of 
deep black scarcely perceptible. In both sexes the 
feathers on the lower part of the back are remark- 
ably long, soft, and puffy, as in some of the African 
Bush-shrikes ( Malaconolm ), and those on the 
rump are tipt with white ; these peculiarities do 
not appear to have been noticed. Having already 
entered into many details on the affinities and
