the second is in the fine collection of the Hon. Walter Rothschild. I am not aware of 

 the existence of other examples in this country.

 wing-coverts and under wing-coverts white, the former mottled with blackish grey, 

 and the latter tinged with yellow. Remiges brownish black, tipped with dull white on 

 the external vane of the five outer primaries, and both vanes of the next four, as well
