Mr. Hume gives the following notes, taken from specimens in the flesh : — " Dimensions, 

 males — length 4 to 4*75 inches, expanse 6 - 25 to 6 - 5, wing 1*82 to 2'12, tail from vent 1"6 to 2, 

 tarsus 0-5 to 0'55, bill at front 071 to 0-79. 



'■Females. Length 3-82 to 4-25, expanse 5-82 to 6-12, wing 1-82 to 1-9, tail 1-25 to 1-6, 

 tarsus 0-5, bill at front 061 to 0-64. 



" In the male the legs and feet and upper mandible are dark brown, the lower mandible 

 pale brown ; in the female the upper mandible is horny brown, the lower mandible horny yellow, 

 and the legs and feet yellow ; in both sexes the irides are brown." 



The specimens which I have here figured and described were collected by Mr. Davison on 

 the island of Kondul, in March, and were kindly lent to me by Mr. Hume, in whose collection 

 they are now preserved. 



I have also examined an adult in the British Museum, collected by Mr. Hume, and presented 

 by him to that institution.
