7. Thriponax kalinowskii. 



Thriponax kalinowskii, Tacz. P. Z. S. 18S7, p. 607, 1888, p. 467. 



Adult male. Eesembles Th. feddeni, but naay be distinguished by 

 the conspicuous white tips to some of the primaries. According to 

 Dr. Taczanowski, the live outer quills are tipped with white, the 

 bastard quill having only a small terminal spot, while the third has 

 the outer web white to the extent of 0-95 inch and the inner web to 

 about 0-4 ; on the fourth quill the white does not attain an extent 

 of more than 0"7. There is rather less white at the base of the 

 quills : " in the 1st and 2nd it occupies more than the basal g, in 

 the 3rd the basal | is white, and in the secondaries the white is 

 equally distributed " (TaczanoivsJci, MS.). The measurements re- 

 duced to inches are: "Total length lU-5 inches, wing 9-65, tail 6-8, 

 bill to gape 2'53, tarsus 1'2 ; toes (without claws) — outer anterior 

 1'07, outer posterior 0-66 ; tail exceeding the end of the wing by 

 3'5" (Taczanowski). The soft parts are as follows: "bill black; 

 feet blackish : iris pale yellow " (Kalinowsli). 



Adult female. " Differs from the adult male in the complete 

 absence of red on the head. Total length 17"S5 inches, wing 9-85, 

 tail (2)?, bill 2-68, tarsus 1-22" {Taczanowsld). « Iris yellowish 

 white " (Kalinoivski).
