perch, on a branch or tree. Mr. Broadbent informs me that Eupetes 

 ccerulesceus, (E. nigrocrissus of Salvadori), of which species also 

 Mr. Goldie has sent several specimens, is never fonnd except on 

 the ground, and is lively and active in its movements. 

 Loc. Mountain scrubs of the Goldie Eiver. 



209. — ? Eectes decipiens, Salvadori. 

 Salvad. Ann. Mus. Civ. di St. Nat. Genov. XII., 22 Ltiglio. 1878. 



The specimen before me differs from Dr. Salvadori's description 

 in having the head and throat, and the wings and tail above jet 

 black ; the remainder of the plumage rich cinnamon-rufous above, 

 a little paler below ; the outer tail feathers slightly margined 

 with rufous on the outer web, towards the tip. Total length 9*5 

 inches; wing, 4*2 ; tail 4'1 ; tarsus, 1*3; bill from forehead, 1-2. 



Loc. Scrubs of the G-oldie River. 



210. — DlCRTTRTJS BRACTEATTTS, Gfould. 



The thick billed variety of a Dicrurus noted under D. carlonmius 

 (Vol. III., p. 276), I believe on closer examination to belong to 

 this species, others not differing from the N. S. "Wales examples 

 were also obtained. 



211. — Microglosstjs ATERRiMus, Gmel. 



Several specimens from Port Moresby and Laloki Eiver. 

 Individuals vary considerably in size. The young have a band 

 of feathers across the breast margined with yellow. 



212. — Cacattja galerita, Lath. 



One specimen in Mr. Goldie' s collection undoubtedly the same 

 as the Australian birds from Cape York. 



Trichoglossus subplacens, Sclater. 

 Mr. Goldie obtained a number of this species about 50 miles 

 inland, they do not differ in any way from those from the Duke 

 of York's group.
