Three specimens carry a great deal of nestling down. One is full- 

 grown, with white back and white breast, but still bears nestling 

 down round the neck and on the breast. The only one which has no 

 down on the plumage has the wings black, with white margins to the 

 wing-coverts ; the scapulars also are for the most part black, with white 

 bases and fringes, but showing a tendency to become more entirely 

 white. 



The other whitish bird was procured on the 13th of January, 1900. 

 It is more grey than white, and seems to be in an intermediate stage 

 of some kind. The other birds are in the dark brown young 

 plumage, with the throat rather lighter brown.
