new Bird from the Hawaiian Islands. 251 
Gadow’s description of that of Lowioides. It is not acute at 
the tip and is apparently emarginate there, with the edges 
microscopically serrulate. The tenth primary is rudimentary 
as in other Drepanidide, the sixth, seventh, and eighth are 
equal and form the tip of the wing; the ninth is notably 
shorter than these, as also is the fifth; the latter is not so 
short as the ninth, however, while the fourth is a little 
shorter ; third, second, and first decreasing in length. Tail 
rather short. Metatarsi short, only about equal in length to 
those of Oreomyza montana of the same island, but far 
stronger and stouter. In front the two basal scales are not 
long and apparently not very clearly divided, the second 
being not so long as wide; the third is quite elongate, sub- 
equal to the fourth, which is twice as long as wide in this 
dry specimen; the fifth still more elongate and deeply 
emarginate at the apex, its inner apical angle strongly pro- 
duced, its outer one still more strongly, so that the short 
scale tollowing is deeply enclosed in the emargination. 
Dysmorodrepanis munrot, sp. n. 
General colour above greyish olivaceous, less grey on the 
middle of the back and on the rump ; head above in front 
and an indefinite stripe above and extending behind the eyes 
much more yellow; underparts of neck and body entirely 
pale, appearing white, irregularly suffused with pale yellow. 
Wings with all the primaries except the outer one with very 
narrow but conspicuous yellowish margin outwardly, this 
colour becoming white (or hardly tinged with yellow) on the 
distal ends. The inner web is largely white in all these 
feathers basally, the white gradually extending on the inner 
primaries and in these reaching the tip of the feathers. The 
inner secondaries are broadly white-tipped and margined 
with white inwardly, the innermost ones with the whole 
inner web white. The breadth of the white tip decreases 
towards the primaries. ‘The rectrices are dark, the outer 
margins narrowly olivaceous. 
Mr. Munro’s notes give the following additions :—“ Length 
six inches, sex not determined, the legs muscular with strong 
sinews, the jaw muscles more than usually developed, skull 
round almost like a marble, eyes large for the size of the 
bird, the iris dark brown, as also the upper mandible, the 
lower light brown, lighter beneath; legs light slate-colour, 
the soles of feet yellowish.”

that I know of, was taken in the Kaiholena valley, Lanai, at
