90 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ZOOLOGY OF NEW GUINEA, 



Two specimens in Mr. Goldie' s collection botli males, I find no 

 material difference between them and the Australian examples ; 

 however they are a trifle smaller, and of a shade lighter in tint. 

 Wing, 3*2 inches ; bill, 0*6 inches. 



Loc. Laloki River. 



MlCRJECA ALBOERONTATA, Ramsay . 



Mr. Goldie informs me he shot several of this fine species at a 

 considerable distance inland on the Goldie River, but most of the 

 specimens, failing in the water, were swept away before he could 

 secure them ; they frequent the opens in the scrubs, and in habits 

 resemble the other species of the genus. 



Loc. Laloki River.

 in spirits from Groldie Rriver, much damaged in shooting.

This is a typical Eupetes, and not a Cinclosoma, and is apparently 

 rare, the only specimen obtained was found at a great distance 

 inland on the Goldie River. Mr. Kendal Broadbent described 

 a bird to me which was in Mr. Ingham's collection, and shot 

 also some 50 miles inland ; it is, I think without doubt, identical 

 with this species. The coloring and style of marking closely 

 resemble some of the Australian species of Cinclosoma, and in 

 habits the birds are much the same, being seldom if ever, known to
