(no. 1712).
From
the
Mathews Collection
(no. 9396) via the
Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the
holotype
in the original description, noting that the wing measured
312 mm
and that the bill was shorter than that of
C. cecilae
.
Mathews (1926: 403–406)
does not give further measurements for
marngli
. My measurements: wing 313, bill 51, tarsus 57. These fall within the measurements given by
Rowley (1970: 59
, 63) for
C. bennetti
.
