PLATE XXVIII 



HAINAN SILVER KALEEGE 



Gennaeus whiteheadi Grant 



This bird is very close to the Silver Kaleege, but as it is found only on an island off the south 

 China coast, it must be recognized as a distinct species. There is less white on the outer tail-feathers 

 than in the silver bird, while the female is actually more like the corresponding sex in the Lineated than 

 in the Silver Kaleege. Mr. Whitehead, who obtained the first specimens, died before he left the country, 

 and since that time only Japanese collectors have taken the bird.
