Adult. Above slate-blue, eacb feather with a brownish-grey base 

 and black shaft ; chin, throat, fore-neck, and rest of the underparts 

 pure white, the feathers on the throat and fore-neck having brownish 

 bates, while those on the chin, breast, and lower parts are pure 

 ■white ; flippers greyish black, rather narrowly edged with white on 

 the inner margin (only the two outermost rows being white). Tail 

 generally white *, composed of 16 feathers. Iris silver-grey. Total 

 length about 16 inches. 



* It seems probable that this is caused by the feathers being bleached by the 



birrl'.- 'ir 'i-pi-.ic;s.
