160 Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant on Birds 



have a darker back than the female of T. cyanocephala, but 

 it is almost certainly identical with that species. 



Two young birds, a male from Launch Camp, Setakwa 

 Hiver, and a female (No. 1119) from Wakatimi, are moulting 

 into the adult plumage. In the young female the throat is 

 at first white like the chest, the crown black, and the rest of 

 the plumage much like that of the adult female. 



"This striking species, known as Bonaparte's Todopsis, 

 was only noticed on the lower reaches of the river near 

 Wakatimi, where it usually frequented the denser vegetation 

 bordering the creek and river-banks. It has a pretty habit 

 of raising and spreading the tail so that it forms a fan, 

 and at the same time lowering its wings and uttering a 

 short twittering note. Both sexes act in this manner." —

In this specimen there is no visible wing-speculum, the 

 innermost primary only showing a little white at the base 

 of the outer web. In most examples of H. armiti the white 

 speculum commences on the outer web of the third primary 

 quill, and is continued inwards. In the present specimen, 

 and in a series of birds from Mt. Goliath in the Tring 

 Museum, the chest is distinctly grey, more so than in any 

 example of typical H. armiti, but this slight difference is not 

 quite constant.
