WHITE-THROATED BRISTLE-NECK. 
Tricophorus gularis, Swains. 
Above olive ; beneath, in the middle of the body, yellow ; 
crown, blackish brown ; ears, grey ; chin and throat, pure 
white. 
The pure white on the chin and throat of this 
hitherto unrecorded species distinguishes it, at first 
sight, from the two preceding. Its size is inter- 
mediate, between that of strigilatus and olivacmt, 
being less than the former and larger than the 
latter, and in all three the feathers on the throat 
are equally developed*. 
The colouring has a general resemblance to that 
of the two species already described, and yet there 
are slight although distinctive variations. The 
upper part of the head is dark sepia brown, which 
assumes a greyish tinge on the ear-feathers, the 
shafts of which are paler; the chin, and halfway 
down the throat, is pure white; the breast and 
middle of the body clear but pale yellow, and tire 
sides and flanks are of the same olive-green as the 
* It is quite clear that Professor Temminck had not exa- 
mined the other species he alludes to, for he states that this 
character is peculiar alone to his T. barbatus , whereas it is 
general in all the three species.
