We have now about 14 males and several females, which we could compare 

 with 4 males from Arfak. It thus becomes evident that the birds from British 

 New Guinea form a smaller subspecies than the northern ones. The wings of 

 onr males from British New Guinea measure only 128 to 132, those of four males 

 from Arfak 136*5 to 141-5 mm. We name the smaller race Ed. montana minus. 

 Type : 3 ad., Bihagi, head of Mambare River, north side of the Owen Stanley 

 Mountains, 29. iii. 1906. (No. A 2672.)
