AVe have been able to compare this series with specimens from San C'hristoval, 

 the ishind whence C. nifiquhi was orifjinally described, and there is no difference 

 whatever between the e.\'aniides from the various islands.

 feet canary yellow." 



Beside this adult female we had already two immature birds from Bougainville 

 and Choisenl, nndoubtedly belonging to the same species. This bir<l being thus 

 known from three different islands, we may, with more certainty than in 1905, 

 consider it to be the same as the bird from Ugi, i.e. Ramsay's jihilippanai'. We 

 should call the non-metallic ground colour of the body-plumage slaty black and not 

 " light slate-blue " !
