Professor Newton's note (Ibis, 1870, p. 39) refers to specimens 

 a and b. The differences there mentioned between these specimens are 

 repeated in two examples in the University collection (locality not 

 recorded). Two others are somewhat intermediate in character, 

 hence I doubt there being more than one species, the view taken by 

 Capt. Shelley.
