11. Tamjsiptera danae Sharpe. 2 S ; 24. ix., 21, .\. 1903 (Nos. 16, 50).

13. Poecilodn/as nigrivent>-is Hart., Bull. B. 0. Club xix. p. 51 (February 

 1907 — Lower Mambare River).— ?; 20. ix. 1905 (No. 0).— This specimen agrees 

 I)erfectly with the type of P. nigrimntris, except that it is smaller, the wing only 

 measuring 81 instead of 87-5 to 91 mm. as in the males. We find, however, a 

 similar difference in the sexes in P. bimaculafa. We have received P. nigriventris 

 also from the Sattelberg in Kaiser Wilhelmsland, where the late Carl Wahnes 

 collected several specimens. 



14. Poecilodrgas leticops inelaiwgenys Meyer. S jun. ; 17. xi. 1905 (No. (32). — 

 This specimen shows still some rufous feathers on the crown and sides of the head, 

 and dark lores, whicli are signs of juvenility. The unbroken white forehead, which 

 is always present in P. I. melanogemjs but seldom in P. I. alhifacies, seems to 

 indicate that this bird belongs to P. I. melaiiogengs, described from the Sattelberg. 

 Tlie throat is still moulting, but is probably nearly qmie. yellow, with only a white 

 chin-spot. Cf. Noc. Zool. 1003 p. 469. 



15. Machaerirb/hclnisjlavioenter novus liofhsch. & Hart, c? ? ; 6. xii. 1905 (Nos. 

 99, 100).— Descr. : Nor. Zool. 1912 p. 200.— The male agrees with those from the 

 Kumnsi River and Collingwood Bay in having more white on the throat, while the 

 underside is of a brighter golden yellow. The type of M.f. nmiis is a male (No. 

 2839, A. S. Meek Coll.). By some mistake this same specimen has been quoted in 

 J^ot. Zool. 1912 p. 208 as " Machaerir/ignchus xanthogemjs alUfrom" while antefi, 

 on p. 201, it had been correctly quoted as the type oi M.f. novus. 



10. Aetlwmgias sinlodera guttata Sharpe. — Ae. gidtata^hwi^s, Joum.Linn. Soc. 

 Loud., Zool. xvi. p. 432 (1882— S.E. New Guinea).— d' ? ? ; 28. xi., 1. xii. 1905 

 (Nos. 79, 86, 87). These birds appear to belong to Ae. s. guttata, though the spotting 

 on the throat is rather small ; but this varies in the genus, younger birds, as a rule, 

 having smaller black throat-spots than adult ones.
