<p>The description and measurements, as well as the figure of the adult bird in the plate, <br>
are taken from a very fine skin in Mr. Wallace's collection. My own specimens average <br>
about 12 inches in total length, their tail feathers having apparently not yet attained their <br>
maximum growth. The young bird is described and figured from a specimen in my collec- <br></p>
tion, obtained by Mr. Wallace in Morty Island.
