as I have been able to examine, closely agree with those of Necropsar roderi- 
canus ; and no one is in a position to affirm that the remiges of that extermi- 
nated species differed in size and proportions from those of the new species, 
which I venture to characterise as 
Necropsar leguati n. sp. 
Description :—General colour white everywhere, except for a lighter or 
darker ferruginous wash on the external webs of the distal half of the prim- 
aries and secondaries, as also on the outer webs of the newly moulted, and 
on both webs of the unmoulted rectrices. Bill, legs, and feet yellow. 
Bill higher than broad at the nostrils; pointed and curved, but less so 
than in Fregilupus varius, and presenting on the upper mandible a slight 
notch at the tip; both mandibles meet in a point ; length from gape, 37 mm. ; 
culmen (measured with callipers), 32, and from the anterior margin of nostril,

215mm. Nasal aperture elongated, with a superior membrane ; a tract of 
short erect plumes on each side from the forehead to the posterior margin 
of the aperture, leaving the ridge of the culmen naked between them. 
No rictal bristles. 
The wing, composed of soft and delicate feathers, with slender shafts, is 
rounded and feeble ; in length it measures 109 mm. ; the difference between 
the tips of the primaries and secondaries, 7.¢., 13 mm., is less than the length 
of the metatarsus, 31°5 mm.; length from carpal joint to tip of external 
(tenth) primary, 64 mm.; length of tenth primary, 38 mm.; ninth, 27 mm. 
longer than the tenth; eighth, 13 longer than the ninth ; seventh, 4 longer 
than the eighth; and sixth (the longest), 2 mm. longer than the seventh ; 
the fifth is equal to the sixth, and the fourth is 65 mm. shorter than the fifth. 
The outer secondaries are about the same length as the inner primaries, 
and their outermost two or three (along with one or two of the innermost
