Clytomyias insignis was hitherto unique in the Leyden Mnsenm, the type 

 being a single female obtained in 1876 by Bruijn's hunters at Tjobonda in the 

 Arfak Mountains. Dr. E. D. van Oort has kindly compared some of our specimens 

 with the type, and as all our specimens are alike it is evident that the birds 

 from British New Guinea belong to a different subspecies, which we are pleased 

 to name after Dr. van Oort of the Leyden Museum. Hartert has also examined 

 the type in Leiden. 



The upper-surface of our new subspecies is slightly more brownish, less grey ; the 

 throat is ochraceous, not white, the under-snrface is light ochraceons, in two 

 females paler, more creamy buff; the flanks are but slightly deeper in colour, 

 and some of the flank-feathers are darker, somewhat tinged with olive, along 

 the middle. The under tail-coverts are dnll ochraceous brown, while those of the 

 type of C. insignis arc " dusky with chestnut tips." The rectrices are slightly 

 brighter in colour. " Iris brown ; feet smoky horn-colour, light horn ; bill black, 

 base of under-mandible pale brown." 



Type of C. i. oorti : <$, No. A 2171, head of Aroa River, 4. v. 1905. 



Evidently Clytomyias and allied genera have only 10 rectrices !
