Adult. Similar to 0. leucorrJioa, but with the longer itpper tail- 

 coverts broadly tipped with black ; the rectrices, except the 

 central pair, white at their base for about a fourth of their length ; 

 tail less deeply forked. Total length about 7 inches, wing 0-1 ; 

 tail, central rectrices 2-75, lateral rectrices 3-1 ; bill 0*8, tarsus 0-82, 

 middle toe 0'9, outer toe a trifle shorter, inner toe 0-7. 



" Four adult males collected in the Galapagos Archipelago by 

 Mr. C. H. Townsend seem to bo identical with the Hawaiian 

 examples collected by Mr. V. Knudsen, though slight differences are 

 apparently observable. They are perceptibly darker in colour, 

 though this may be due to their fresher condition ; the black tips to 

 the longer upper tail-coverts average rather narrower ; the bill is a 

 little thicker, and the tarsi and toes quite decidedly shorter (-83 and 

 •82 respectively against -89 and -85 in Hawaiian specimens). It is 

 possible, however, these slight diflerences would disappear if a 

 larger number of specimens were compared." (liidgiuay in lift.)
