 with dark brown streaks ; coverts and quills fringed on the edges 

 with a paler colour ; rump pale olive-brown ; chin dirty white ;

Inhabits the Sandwich Islands, is also in Nootka Sound : one from 

 the latter had the crown black, and a spot of yellow on the fore part 

 only ; a double line of white on the wings ; the belly also was white : 

 probably this differed in sex. 



In Cook's last Voyage* it is said, that the male is black on the 

 upper part of the breast; that the female is also black on the breast, 

 but no spot of yellow on the crown.
