The two specimens sent, Mr. Knudsen says, are male and female, as 

 ascertained by him by dissection, but it is not indicated which one is 

 the male and which the female. The only difference between the two 

 is that No. 110039 is somewhat larger and has the extreme tip of the 

 chin black, while in the other specimen the white of the chin reaches 

 the angle of the bill. 



I have dedicated this species to Mr. Sanford B. Dole, to whom we 

 owe the first elaborate attempt at a synopsis of the Hawaiian Avi- 

 fauna.

'Type. 



Phaeornis myadestina, sp. n. 

 Flycatching Thrnsli. Oil, or Uapauan. 



Diagnosis. — Similar to Ph. ohscura, from Hawaii, but the upper sur- 

 face more olive, the under surface much lighter, white tips to the outer 

 tail-feathers, and a very distinct myadestine wing-pattern ; inner pri- 

 maries and secondaries at base of outer web bright russet, forming an 

 oblique band across the wing, followed by a similar black one which is 

 caused by the olive-russet edges to the quills suddenly narrowing a 

 little distance from the bright russet '' speculum." 



Dimensioris (average).— Wing, lOS-"""; tail-feathers, 82'"'°; exposed 

 culmen, 14'°'° ; length of gonys, G.S'"'" ; tarsus, 32"^'° ; middle toe with 

 claw, 24'°'°.
