The flanks, under wing-coverts, and under surface of thewings are of a dull black, the under surface of the primaries and secondaries being crossed atthe base by a white band. The bill and feet are black; the iris is marked dark. In thesecond example, marked male (in the collection of Messrs. Salvin and Godman), the ferrugi-nous colour is but slightly shown on the crissum; but this may be caused by the feathers onthis part not being quite perfect. The dimensions do not differ from those of the otherspecimen. Sclater,Jac.^ J xiiyh BRACHYGALBA ALBIGULARIS lla, imp BEACHYGALBA ALBIGULABIS. THE WHITE-THEOATED XIV. Galhula alhogularis, Spix, Av.
