 [C.B.K.] 



Two of the Megapodes procured by the Wollaston Ex- 

 pedition at their higher camps on the Utakwa River are 

 apparently referable to this species, which is a smaller 

 mountMin-form of M. duperre>/i with dark legs. It was first 

 described fi'om Amboina. 



Mr. Kloss describes specimen a as having the nnclml 

 skin red and the legs black, but probably the colour of the 

 latter was recorded after the bird had been dead for some 

 time, as the legs are described as being " dusky yellowish- 

 olive" by Wallace.
