On each side of this there is a parallel band ofwhite, ending upon the sides of the head, forming three distinct longitu-dinal stripes, from which M. Temminck derives his trivial name. Thethroat and breast are white ; the belly, vent, sides, and under sides of thewings pale reddish-brown or orange, tinged with umber-brown; the tail isnearly black, and, with the exception of the centre feathers, has about aninch on the tip of each white. This species agrees very nearly with Dr Horsfields characters of thegenus, except

This species agrees very nearly with Dr Horsfields characters of thegenus, except in the proportion of the wings. In the typical species thefifth, sixth, and seventh quills are longest, and nearly equal; in this thefourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh, are the longest, and equal. The same pro-portions are found in another species figured by M. Temminck, and fromthe same county, the P. turdinus, and it is probable that the New Hol-land individuals will hereafter form a separate group.
