new Bird from tJic llnwaiian Islands. 251 



G;\ilt)w's description of that of [joAoidei. It is not acute at 

 the tip and is apparently eni;ir;^inate there, with the edj^es 

 microscopically sennlate. The tenth primary is nidiinetitary 

 as in other Drepanitlidje, 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 n little 

 shorter ; third, second, an I first decreasing in length. Tail 

 rather short. Metatarsi short, only about equal in length to 

 those of Oreomyza inontana 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 wiilc in tiiis 

 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 following is deeply enclosed in the emargination. 



Dyamorodrepanis munroi, 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, ap])earing white, irreguluily suffused with pale yellow. 

 Wings witli all the primaries excejjt 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. Tiie 

 inner secondaries are broadly white-tipped and margined 

 witl^ white inwardly, the iimernjost ones with the whole 

 inner web white. The breadth of the white tip decreases 

 towards the primaries. The rectrices are dark, the outir 

 margins narrowly olivaceous. 



Mr. Munro's notes give the lollowing additions : — " Length 

 six inches, sex not determine<l, tlie legs muscular with strong 

 sinews, the jaw muscles more than usually developed, skull 

 round almost like a marble, eyos large for the size of the 

 bird, the iris dark brown, as also the upper mandible, the 

 lower light brown, ligliter beneath; legs light slate-colour, 

 the soles of feet yellowish."

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