" Iris brown, feet slaty blue, bill black." 



We have now three skins of this rare species in the collection. The t3'pe 

 labelled " Mts. Brit. N. Guinea," the one recorded above, and a third labelled " cJ, 

 N.E. Coast, Brit. N. Gninea, 2 November, 3U0 ft.," collected by a Mr. H. G. Liverey. 

 All three are very much alike, the one collected by H. G. Liverey being slightly 

 darker above, and the margins of outer webs of the primaries more rufon?. It is 

 also darker on the underside. 



The type came from a doubtful locality, but there is a specimen from Milne Bay 

 in the Leyden Museum, therefore the distrilnition of this species appears to be the 

 north-east coast of British New Guinea.

 Sogere are j)aler underneath, and one, from Mt. Gayata, has the under wing-
