36 Mr. C. W. De Vis on Birds 



rufous brown. Thighs pale brown ; legs and feet pale 

 yellow, claws dusky towards the tips ; bill yellow. Total 

 length 350 ram., wing 135, bill 20, tarsus 35, tail 110, first 

 primary 25. 



In a second example, apparently not fully adult, the 

 guttural gorget blends with the colour of the breast. The 

 whole bird is paler and duller, and the markings of the 

 under tail-coverts and praeanal feathers are more pronounced. 

 Bill orange ; legs and feet gamboge-yellow. First primary 

 15 mm. 



Hab. Mount Victoria.

63. Epimachus meyeri, Finsch. 



In the collection are four adult and two young males of 

 an Epimachus. The young examples correspond so closely 

 with the type of E, meyeri, except in a greater length of bill, 

 that I can hardly doubt the correctness of the opinion enter- 

 tained by the collectors that these are males of the species 

 named. If so, a description of the male has been given by 

 Dr. Bamsay under the name of E. macleayanee. 



Hab. Musgrave Bange, 6000 to 9000 feet.
