tipped with -white, only the two outer tail-feathers having white 

 apical spots of largo size ; white margins to the quills and wing- 

 coverts narrow and not forming a patch as in the male ; rest of 

 plumage as in the latter, but the sides of the face, sides of neck and 

 of body below barred with zigzag cross lines of dusky black ; " iris 

 dark brown " (BrencJiley). Total length 6-5 inches, wing 3-6, tail 

 2-7, tarsus O'So. 



The female described is from M'Eau Island, Fiji (BrcncJiIeif), as I 

 have not seen a dissected specimen from Tongatabu. The Fiji and 

 Friendly Islands birds are, however, specifically identical, though 

 specimens from the former group appear to be smaller, the wing not 

 exceeding, as a rule, 3-45 inches in length. 



Tounij. Differs from the adult in having the feathers of the upper 

 surface edged with rusty colour or hoary white ; the wing-coverts 

 and quills margined with rusty, the white wing-coverts with large 

 black centres ; sides of face, breast, and flanks mottled with zigzag 

 cross markings of blackish. 



Two young birds from Samoa are ashy brown above, white below, 

 with i-emains of wavy arrow-head lines of dull brown, and have 

 yellow bills.
