" (? ? : Iris dark brown ; eyelids blue ; bill and feet slaty-blue." 

 In addition to the characters pointed out by Dr. van Oort, it seems that the 

 bare skin of the eyelids is not quite so largely developed as in A. t. aruensis. The 

 wings of our males measure 78-83, those of the females 77-79 mm. There is 

 thus a considerable amount of variation, and not much diiference, if any, from 

 A. t. aruensis in size.
