OLIVE BRISTLE-NECK.

Temminck for these birds, the first knowledge of 
which he derived from some duplicates he received 
from us during his visit to England in 1817 or 1818. 
We have reason to think, also, that the “ five” 
species* he mentions, as “ already known,” are 
what he took to he the five species in our possession, 
for he has only published that one w r hich he re- 
ceived from us. The other two genuine species of 
Tricophorus are described here, as we believe, for 
the first time. 
The species at present before us, although resem- 
bling T. strigilatus , in having yellow on the throat, 
is yet readily identified, having the crown of the 
head and the ears of the same olive -green colour 
as that on the back ; the ears are the same, with a 
pale line down the shafts ; the body beneath, with 
the sides of the neck and breast, are also olive, but 
with a yellower tinge, somewhat paler in the middle ; 
the chin and greater part of the neck is straw- 
coloured yellow, clear but pale, without any white 
intermixed, and there is no grey whatever upon the 
plumage. The tail has a shade almost imperceptible 
of rufous, similar to what is seen in the two follow- 
ing species. The nuchal' bristles are much de- 
veloped, the longest measuring more than an inch. 
Total length, 7 > bill from the front, ^ ; wings, 
3 1 ; tail beyond, 2 ; ditto from the base, 3 ^ ; tar- 
sus, j 8 g ; hind-toe and claw, 
* These other two are probably our Dasycepfuzla syndadyla, 
Ilcematornis fiavicollis , and the three Tricophori here described.
