Myiagra pluto Finsch, Proc. Zool. soc. London, 1875, p. 644. (Ponape). 



Two males, a female, and one other bird (a mummy, unsexed) were 

 collected at Ponape, 11 February, 1900. Both males have a brown- 

 ish wash on the feathers of the chin, throat, and upper breast, a char- 

 acter that Dr. Finsch in his original description assigned to the female. 

 This is indicated only slightly in the female in the present collection. 

 The crown cap in both sexes is distinctly darker than the back with a 

 sharp line of demarcation behind. It is probable that the two males 

 are immature. The mummy may be an almost adult male, as it has 

 the wash barely indicated on chin and throat, and in addition has 

 the feathers of the upper breast glossed with bluish. 



Measurements of the birds with sex indicated are as follows : — •
