Part VI. 



On some new and rare Birds, from South East Coast of 



New Guinea, &c. 



By E. P. Ramsay, F.L.S., C.M.Z.S., Cors. Member Royal 



Society of Tasmania, &c. 



Immediately on Mr. Goldie's return he kindly placed at my 



disposal, his large and interesting collections, made during the last 



six months of the present year. I find among them, specimens of 



nearly all the species represented in his three previous collections, 



with a few additional species of great interest, which I now 



proceed to enumerate. 



On this last trip, Mr. Goldie has succeeded in penetrating into 

 new and unworked fields, and has been rewarded by the 

 acquisition of some remarkably interesting species, a complete 

 list of which will be given hereafter.
