" Iris dark brown ; bill black ; feet slaty-blue." 



This form is nearest to M. g. fumigatus A. B. Meyer, from British New 

 Guinea, but differs in having the bindneck and back deep brownish black, instead 

 of blackish olive, in having darker centres to the feathers of the breast, and being 

 slightly larger. The typical gi/mnops has a totally diftereut underside. Wing in 

 the males up to 117, in the females 100-111 mm.
