446 ON NEW SPECIES OF HAWAIIAN BIRDS. [ Nov. 5, 
head grey ; back hair-brown tinged with red, rump distinctly russet, 
and the upper tail-coverts brownish scarlet; remiges and rectrices 
blackish brown edged with brownish scarlet, as also are the upper 
wing-coverts. Beneath, dull white tinged with pale scarlet; sides of 
the body reddish brown, and wing-lining white tinged with scarlet. 
Dimensions. Total length 5 inches, wing from carpal joint 23, 
culmen °5, tarsus *75, tail 2. 
Hab. Molokai. 
Obs. Differs from L. coccinea not only in its much larger size, but 
in the intense purity of its scarlet, which replaces the scarlet-orange 
of L. coccinea. 
HIMATIONE MONTANA, Sp. n. 
Male. Forehead, sides of the face, and throat deep lemon-yellow, 
shading into a lighter tint of yellow on the breast and abdomen, the 
lower part of which is white ; under tail-coverts deep lemon-yellow ; 
upper parts, with the exception of the rump, which is yellow, are 
dull greenish yellow ; primaries, of which the second is much shorter 
than the fourth and fifth, which are equal, ashy brown, edged with 
dull yellow ; wing-lining white, tinged with clear yellow ; tail-quills 
ashy brown edged with dull yellow. Bil/ light pinkish, Feet slender, 
of the same colour as the bill. 
Female. Similar in general colour to the male, but the underparts 
are of a very light shade of lemon-yellow instead of the deep yellow 
of the male. 
Dimensions. Total length 4 inches, wing from carpal joint 2°25, 
culmen °35, tarsus *70, tail 2°75. 
Hab. Lanai. 
Obs. The bill in curve approaches nearest to Oreomyza and in 
size to Himatione parva, Stejn. 
HIMATIONE STEJNEGERI, Sp. 0. 
? H. chloris, Stejneger, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 1887, p. 96 (uec 
Cabanis, Mus. Hein. i. p. 99). 
Closely resembling H. chloris, but having the bill higher at the 
base, more decurved, and with the maxilla perceptibly exceeding the 
mandible in length. 
This species differs from the true H. chloris, of which I have been 
able to examine a specimen in the Museum of the University of 
Cambridge, marked by Prof. Cabanis as agreeing with his type. 
Dr. Stejneger, it will be observed, did not feel certain as to the 
identity of the form from Kauai and that from Oahu, whence came 
Prof. Cabanis’s examples, and where I obtained others agreeing with 
them. 
Hab. Kauai. 
Obs. The representative forms of Himatione chloris, Cab., from 
the Islands of Lanai and Molokai, are (easily) distinguishable from 
each other and also from Professor Cabanis’s type, which was obtained 
from the island of Oahu. 
The following characters of the forms of this species from the 
three islands will serve to distinguish them :—
