478 Mr. C. Ingram on the Birds of 



su'pra) and Nortli (Nest & Eggs B. of Austr. vol. ii. p. 151 

 [1907]), tlie difference being especially marked on the wings 

 and tail, Avhicli are usually the brownest parts of the typical 

 bird. It is also distinguished by the more conspicuous 

 margins to the secondary feathers, these forming, when the 

 wing is clcsed, a pronounced streak of yellowish green. 

 The under parts are likewise of a clearer olive-grey. Gould 

 describes the irides of P. unicolor as being " obscure red,'' 

 while it will be observed by Mr. Stalker's notes that they 

 are *' grey " in my bird. With regard to measurements and 

 in other respects it seems, however, to agree with P. unicolor. 

 The Inkerman bird has every appearance of being adult, and 

 the unworn condition of the plumage and the time of year 

 at which it was shot point to its being newly moulted. 

 Unfortunately none of the skins at the British Museum 

 bear any date, so that it is impossible to say whether the 

 difference is merely seasonal or not ; but as one of the adult 

 examples in the Museum (killed during the moult) shews 

 half-grown feathers of a broivnish colour, this explanation 

 does not seem to be very probable.

The backs of my four specimens are of a purer green and

 with the series in the British Museum.
