New Guinea, Mysol and Waigin in having more white on the throat, and a 

 male from Haidana in Collingwood Bay agrees with them entirel}'. The above 

 three males have also the undersides bright yellow without an orange or golden 

 tinge, which one sees in M.f. alhifrons. Under these circumstances it is desirable 

 to separate this form. Type of M.Jlameenter novus : S ad. Haidana, Collingwood 



Bay, April 15, I'.lOT, A. S. Meek collfiction. A male from Aicora in N.E. 



British NiiW Gninea agrees with tiie type, but its underside is more golden yellow, 

 just as in t'^\i\i.&\Jiamenter. 



In our former article in Nov. Zool. 1903, p. 470, we certainly made a mistake 

 in the nomenclature. If M. alhifrons with the white forehead is a subspecies of a 

 form with a yellow forehead, its nomenclature must be as it is here introduced, 

 because then jcaMhogenys must also be looked upon as a subspecies oi M.flxviventer. 

 As now treated we have the following forms : 



1. M. fiavicenter fiaviventer Gould : North Queensland from Gape York to 

 Cairns, Cedar Bay and Bartle Frere Mountains. 



(Mr. Mathews, yoc. Zool. xviii. p. 322, January 1912, has separated birds 

 from Cairns, stating they were larger; but the comparison with a pair from Cape 

 York does not confirm this statement.) 



2. M. Jiaticenter xanthogent/s Gray : British New Guinea from Milne Bay 

 to the Aroa River, and Upper Setekwa, a tributary of the Oetakwa River in the 

 vSouthern Snow Mountains, Aru Islands. 



3. M. /taviventcr alhifrons Gray : Waigin, Mysol, and N.W. Dutch New 

 Guinea. 



4. M. Jlanventcr nocus : Kumnsi River and Collingwood Bay in Northern 

 British New Guinea. 



90. Coracina boyeri boyeri (Gray). 



Cf. .V<"'. Zwl. 19)3. p. 'JH (sub nomine Grj,>i.calui hojsri). 



4 (?c?',2 ? ? ad.; Kumusi River, May, June 1907. (Nos. 2999, 3102, 3103, 3051, 

 3110, 3219.) 



" Iris brown, bill and feet black." 



It is interesting to see that these specimens have the darker under wing- 

 coverts of the typical hogeri from N.W. New Guinea, which we knew already from 

 Konstantinhafen in German New Gninea, while farther south, at Collingwood Bay 

 and Milne Bay, the very closely allied Coracina hogeri suhalaris occurs. 



91. Coracina papuensis meekiana subsp. nov. 



Cf. Griiucalus pa/)ite>i!<is hupokucii^ in X')i\ Zoul, U)03. p. 205. 



5 cJ<? ad.; Kumusi River, May, June, August 1907. (Nos. 2930, 3033, 3209, 

 3250, 3420.) 



" Iris brown, feet black, bill black." 



This interesting form of Cora.nina pipuensis stands between Coracina papu- 

 ensis papuensis and C. p. slalkeri Mathews.* It ditfers from C. p. papnrnsis in its 

 much paler greyish chest, white throat and almost entirely white aTidomen ; from 

 C. p. slalkeri in the greater e.xtent of black on the lores, there being as a rule no 

 white feathers on the eyelids, and by the less whitish and more grey edges to the 



* Mathews, Nov. Z<io7. xviii. p. 32(), under the name of C. hypolcnca stalheri.
