" Iris golden yellow ; bill black, base slate ; feet ashy blue." 



This specimen only differs from two specimens from North Borneo in having 



more white on the feathers of the lower abdomen, these feathers in the two other 



specimens having only the basal half or less white.

 " Iris golden yellow, feet lemon yellow, bill black, tip slate." 

 Besides this specimen we have another male from Nicura in British New 

 Guinea, which is similar. Unfortunately we have no Australian specimens for 

 comparison, bnt Gould's fignre shows a l)ird with a more whitish underside and 

 wider bars. Astur cruentus ? may be only a subspecies of Astur torquatus.
