354 THE GBUISE OF THE 'OUBAQOA.' 



PLATE I, 

 ACOIPITER ALBOGULABIS. 



(Accipitcr albogularis, G. R. Gr. Aim. and Mag. of N. H. 1870. p. 327.) 



Male. The upper surface plumbeous black tinted with grey ; 

 the base of the feathers on the hind head white ; the entire surface 

 beneath the body also white, but irrorated with pliunbeous on the 

 chest and thighs. 



Length 17" 6'", wings 10", bill 1" 1"', tarsi 2" 4"'. 



This bird, of which there is only a single specimen, might at 

 first sight be taken for the Accipifer haplochroiis of New Cale- 

 donia ; but it is larger and possesses a white throa', which at 

 once distinguishes it from the last-mentioned species. It was ob- 

 tained at Hada, or Kecherche Bay, San-Christoval Island.
