APPENDIX C. 129 



Another adult male recently added to the collection at 

 the British Museum is considerably smaller than that above 

 described, and also than the male previoiisly in the Museum, 

 of which I gave the dimensions in the "^Ibis^ for 1882, p. 128 ; 

 this specimen measures as under : — 



in. 



Wing 7-90 



Tarsus 1-80 



Middle toe s. m 1-35 



It was obtained from the Museum Godeffroy, having been 

 collected in New Britain by Mr. Kleiuschmidt. Another Hawk 

 from the same locality, and obtained by the same collector, 

 was sent with it to the British Museum as an immature 

 female of U. dampieri ; but, in my opinion, it is a male of 

 U. torqitatus in the dress assumed by that species in its 

 passage from the immature to the fully adult plumage. 



One of the three adult females of U. dampieri collected by 

 Lieut. Richards and described by me, under the erroneous 

 appellation of U. etorques, in the ' Ibis^ for 1882, p. 126, was 

 acquired by the Norwich Museum, which has subsequently 

 obtained a second specimen, also collected in New Britain 

 and marked " $ " by the collector. This female closely re- 

 sembles those obtained by Lieut. Richards; it has no cross 

 bars on any of the rectrices except the two outer pairs, and 

 these appear to belong to the immature dress, the entire 

 remainder of the plumage being adult ; this specimen 



measures : — 



in. 



Wing 9-15 



Tarsus 2-40 



Middle toe s.u 1*40 



Culmen without cere 0-85 



Another recent acquisition of the Norwich Museum is a 

 second specimen of Urospizias etorques, collected by Mr. A. 

 A. Bruijn, of Ternate, in Jobie Island, and marked by him 

 as a female. 



This specimen is very similar to the female from the 

 Astrolabe Mountains, previously possessed by the Norwich
