T leopoldi (Zvistr.). Three. @. New Hebrides (Vaté, June; Aneityum, 
December), 
Of the three specimens of this species the Type, ?, from Vaté, has all the feathers 
of the chest, centre of the abdomen, and flanks tipped with metallic coppery 
chestnut, the flanks being dull lead grey. No. 2, from Aneityum, has no chestnut 
colour whatever on the under surface, and has a strong metallic greenish lustre 
on the upper breast, not amethystine as in the Type. This bird, Canon 
Tristram considers very adult. No. 3, also from Aneityum, is apparently a much 
younger bird; the whole under surface—except the throat, which is white, and 
the flanks, which are lead grey—is dull brown, without metallic lustre, inclining 
to chestnut on the centre of the abdonien, each feather with a lighter tip. 
No. 1 is the Type of the species, Tristr. Ibis, 1879, p. 193.

No. 3, from General Davies’ Collection, is in all probability one of the Types of 
Latham’s description. We see no reason for adopting the later name —C. /euco- 
mela, Temm.—as Count Salvadori has done (Cat. B. Brit. Mus. xxi. p. 320), on 
the ground that C. norfolciensis conveys an erroneous locality. The bird may 
have been exterminated at a very early date, just as Hemiphaga spadicea has 
been, both in Norfolk and Lord Howe’s Islands.

“Much smaller than C. subvinacea typica. Wings, 145-148 mm., against 163-165 in 
females, from Costa Rica; also tail about 10-15 mm. shorter, tarsus 1-2 mm. 
shorter.” (Hartert). Habitat. N.W. Ecuador.

The figures of this species given in Cat. Birds, Brit. Mus. xxi. pl. ix., figs. 1, 2 are 
not quite satisfactory. In the male the head and throat are very much greyer, with 
only the very faintest greenish, not reddish, lustre ; the whole under surface is very 
much less vinous than shown ; the nape is grey of the same colour as the head and 
throat, but much more strongly shot with greenish and amethystine reflections ; 
the white collar on the hind-neck is not so pronounced, and the reddish colour 
of the scapulars and inner wing-coverts is somewhat duller than shown. In 
the figure of the female the head and neck should be copper-coloured, somewhat 
darker on the occiput, and the characteristic minute vermiculations on the 
under surface, though mentioned in the description, are not shown. In a male 
juvenile bird the upper breast is more vinous than in the adult, the under tail- 
coverts are grey, vermiculated with white and stained with rufous along the 
shaft, and the white collar on the hind-neck is almost absent.

metallic lustre ; hinder head and neck copper-red ; the lustre on the hinder head
