The uame Mi/iagra cervinicaada appeared several mouths before that of 

 M. ferroci/anea. The differences of the females of M. cermnicauda cervinicauda, 

 feminina, aud ferivci/anea are shown on Plate XIII. For the differences of the 

 males see Xoc. Zool. 1905, p. 2(il and infra, ]). 363.

 Mr. Meek has again sexed Nos. 3780 and 3785 as females. These two birds 

 agree with our description of the young male (I.e. p. 263), but we find, on measuring 

 the wings of our specimens from Reudova and Gizo, as well as of these tT7o, that 

 they are shorter than those of the adult males. It is therefore, after all, quite 

 possible that these birds are the fully adult females, aud that what we considered 

 to be adult females are immature ones.

This new subspecies differs from M. brodiei brodiei in having all the upper 

 wing-coverts blue-black, whereas in the latter the median and greater wing-coverts 

 are white. There is also more white in the tail.
