Mr. Gurney, who has kindly assisted me in the identification of 

 many of the birds of prey collected during the voyage of the 

 * Marchesa,' writes: — "This siiecimeu agrees with the description 

 given in Salvadori's Orn. della Pap. with the following exceptions :- — 

 The under wing-coverts are whole-coloured dark maroon like the 

 breast, except the lowest row, which are pale fawn. Also no spots 

 are visible either on remiges or rectrices, and the bill is only partially 

 black, the lower mandible and the sides of the upper, next the gape, 

 being horn-yellow."
