The only specimen of this bird met with was at Whampoa, on 
the 18th of April, It was feeding on the ground, and on being 
disturbed, flew up to a tree with undulating flight, looking much 
like a Campephaga. The bill and legs were black; iris dark 
brown. General plumage smoke-grey, with a white belly and a 
distinct white eyebrow. I send the bird for Mr. Sclater’s in¬

for Mr. SclateFs inspection-j*.
