Turdus mareensis. 



Layard and Tristrani, Ibis 1879 p. 472. 



cf. General colour very dark smoky 1)rowu (almost black) 

 precisely the tint of T. vanico7'ensls of Samoa. Here and there 

 on the underside the feathers of the body show traces of a paler 

 colour on the edges. A palish brown patch (very indistinct) 

 from the beck of the eye to the nape (this is quite wanting in 

 T. vanicorensis). Upper surface of back almost (in some lights 

 quite) jetblack. Lawer centre of belly and over vent a patch 

 of white and red-brown feathers; the same colours extend down 

 the centre of each feather of the under tail-coverts. This at 

 once distinguishes it from T. vanicorensis in which these parts 

 are immaculate, and the shafts of the tail feathers are dark, 

 whereas in the new bird they are very light. Eyelid and bare 

 Space about eye yellow; bill yellow, with orange tip; legs and 

 feet very light bright yellow. Lg. 7,3, wing 4, tail 3, tars. 1,2, 

 bill 1,2, (broadcr than in T. vanicorensis, but this may be caused 

 by the dry state of the latter.) 



Hab.: Loyalty Islands.
