This species differs from its near ally E. griseigula in having- a more distinct wash of olive-yellow on the 
under surface of the body; but under certain lights the two species seem to be almost inseparable. In size 
it is rather smaller than E, griseigula , 
The type of this species is in the Leyden Museum, where it was described by the late Professor Schlegel. 
It was discovered by Baron Von Rosenberg on the western shores of the bay of Geelvink in North-western 
New Guinea, and it has been obtained at Sorong by the late Dr. Bernstein, and at Ramoi by Dr. Beecari. 
Dr. Guillemard’s specimen from Andai was also evidently the present bird. He gives E. Jlavigula as a 
synonym of E. griseigula without any comment. These two species may prove to be identical, it is true, 
but at present the material at our disposal is not sufficient to settle the question. 
General colour above olive, a little duller on the back, tail, and under tail-coverts ; the head and neck slightly 
clearer olive, with the frontal feathers stiffened ; wing-coverts dusky, edged with olive, the lesser coverts 
like the back; the bastard-wing, primary-coverts, and quills pale dusky brown, externally edged with olive 
like the back ; tail-feathers also dusky brown, broadly edged with olive like the hack ; lores and feathers 
round the eye a little lighter olive than the head ; cheeks and ear-coverts olive like the head, a little paler on 
the former ; under surface of body pale drab-brown, clearer on the flanks and thighs ; the throat, breast, 
abdomen, and under tail-coverts distinctly washed with olive-yellow; under wing-coverts and axillaries pale 
drab-brown, washed with olive-yellow ; quills dusky below, pale ashy rufous along the edge of the inner 
web. Total length G'3 inches, culmen 0‘8, wing 3*1, tail 2 5, tarsus 09. 
The above description has been taken from the specimen lent to us by the Marquis Doria, and the. Plate 
has been drawn from the same bird.
