268 Mr. E. Hargitt on the Genus Chrysophlegma. 
lemon-yellow, varied with rufous; hind neck olive, varied 
with rufous; chin, throat, and cheeks black, spotted with 
white, each feather with two minute spots at the tip; the 
feathers of the lower throat margined with white at the tip; 
posterior half of the face, sides of the neck, fore neck, and 
chest rich rufous ; underparts and under tail-coverts uniform 
olive; under wing-coverts rufous, varied with blackish olive. 
Total length 11*0 inches, culmen 1*5, wing 5*6, tail 4‘2, 
tarsus 0*9; toes (without claws)—outer anterior 0*8, outer 
posterior 0*65, inner anterior 06, inner posterior 035. 
Adult female . Differs from the adult male in having the 
outer edge of the forehead and crown rich rufous, this colour 
forming a conspicuous stripe over the eye; cheeks and chin 
rich rufous, the middle of the throat alone being brownish 
black, each feather having two spots of white near the tip, 
the lower feathers of the throat similar to these, but having 
their tips rufous. Total length 11*0 inches, culmen T45, 
wing 5*6, tail. 4*2, tarsus 0*95. 
Fledgling . In general coloration resembling the adult, but 
very much duller, especially on the head and underparts, the 
top of the head and the face being very dusky, almost black; 
the chief differences, however, being in the markings of the 
cheeks, chin, and throat, the cheeks having dull rufous 
striations, the chin and throat not having the spotted cha¬ 
racter of the adult, the feathers having more of a buffy white 
apical margin, duller upon the chin ; lesser wing-coverts 
dull olive, spotted with red. 
This bird being rare in collections, I give the chief points 
in which it differs from C. squamicollis. In the present 
species the chin and throat are spotted with white, not 
striated; the apical half of the outer webs of the primaries 
and also the apical portion of the secondaries are uniform; 
the rufous spots on the quills are very much smaller and less 
conspicuous, being, on the inner webs of the secondaries, 
small rounded spots, not bar-like and not crossing the whole 
of the web; the yellow nuchal crest is shorter and less 
brilliant. It is also larger than the Malaccan species.
