Only one of the females is not in monlt, so that the wings can be properly 

 measured. We make it 124-5 mm. It would thus belong to the smaller form, 

 which we named " minus."

This specimen, marked ?, agrees well with the description of Meyer, except 

 that the wing measures only 1U9 and not 115 mm., but Sharpe gives {Cat. B. iv. 

 p. 52) only 4-5 iii. = 114 mm.

 It seems that the females are somewhat intermediate between those of 

 E. mela.i melas and E. melas meeld. Altogether they vary a good deal, and as the 

 males appear to be indistinguishable we do not see our way to say for certain 

 whether these specimens should be classed with E. melas melas, meeki, or an inter- 

 mediate race.

Ae. spilodera (juttata ditf^rs from Ae. spilodera spilodera in the colour of the 

 forehead, which is reddish brown with blackish tips to the feathers, instead of dark, 

 almost blackish, olive without distinct sjwts. Our specimens from the Snow 

 Mouutiiins have a rather distinct rnfous foreliead, but we do not venture to separate 

 them on that account from the material at [iresent at hand. Young birds of the 

 two recognised races appear to be (juite similar to each other.
