460 On two new Species of Sandwich-Island Birds. 



O'ides maculata, Oliv. 



O'ides stibhemisphcerica, Gu6r. 

 O'ides indica, Baly. 



Judging from the description and figure given by Olivier 

 and from the description given by Guerin, the two species 

 indicated above are, I think, identical with Baly's O'ides 

 indica, the type of which is before me. I am unable to find 

 any definite characters by which to separate specimens from 

 Java from those coming from other localities, such as Trin- 

 gano, Siam, Burmah, and Assam. 



LI. — Descriptions of two new Species of Sandwich-Island 

 Birds. By Scott B. Wilson, F.ZS. 



Himatione mana f sp. n. 



Male. Head ashy olive, shading into dull olive-green on 

 the back ; beneath dull greenish buff, except the chin and 

 tin oat, which are whitish ; wings and tail brown, edged 

 outwardly with olive-green. 



Female. Duller on the upper parts, while beneath the chin 

 and throat are nearly white, the rest of the underparts more 

 buff than in the male. 



Dimensions. Total length 4*45 inches, wing 2*50, culmen 

 •45, tarsus -70, tail 1-40, 

 Ilab. Hawaii. 



Obs. The bill is nearly straight, being almost similar to 

 that of Oreomyzu, while the plumage of the underparts, 

 especially of the female, bears some resemblance to that 

 species. It has not, however, the rounded wing and very short 

 tail of Oreomyza, 



Phceornis lanaiensis, sp. n. 



This species closely resembles Ph. obscura and Ph. myia- 

 destina, but is smaller in dimensions than either ; while the 

 bill is distinctly intermediate in size between those two species. 

 The outer pair of tail-feathers only have very slight white 

 markings at the tip, but the abdomen and under tail-coverts 

 are nearly pure white. 



The length of the wing from the carpal joint is only 3*65, 

 as against 4 of Ph. obscura. 



Ilab. Lanai. 



Obs. The species found on Molokai seems to be identical 

 wiih the bird from Lanai here described.
