fully adult birds, there can, I think, be no doubt that they 
represent a form hitherto unknown. Allied to M. undatus 
(Rupp.), they may be at once recognized by having the hinder 
parts of the cheeks and sides of the neck pure white, the 
middle of the throat white tinged with yellow, some of the 
feathers being tipped with scarlet, and the outer margins of 
the remiges and rectrices, as well as the tips of the upper 
tail-coverts, golden yellow, instead of pale whitish yellow 
(Naples yellow). Iris pale yellow; bill and legs black. 
Total length about 5 - 8 inches, culmen 075, wing 3*1, 
tail 1*9, tarsus 0*7.
