ME. J. S. BALY ON GENERA AND SPECIES 



specimen of a Goshawk which is undoubtedly new to science, 

 and which I propose to name as undermentioned. 



AsTUE Meteetantjs, sp. n. (Plate XXII.) 



a. JS'iger, subtus albus ; similis A. albigulari, sed major et genis 

 albis uigro striolatis distinguendus. 



This species, which is from Ansus on the Island of Jobi, is very 

 closely allied to A. alhigularis of the Solomon Islands ; but is a 

 larger bird, as will be seen by the following measurements : —

 In addition to the larger size and white cheeks, the Jobi bird is 

 slightly varied with, black shaft-streaks and wavy cross bars of 

 blackish ; but whether these are signs of youth or indications of 

 specific characters, I am unable to determine.
