Gould, P. Z. S., ft VII. p. 144 ; id. Handbk. Bds. Aust. I. p. 

 656; id. Bds. Aust.fol. vol. IV. pi G4. 



I believe this is the first time this species has been recorded 

 from New Guinea. I find no difference between the New Guinea 

 examples and those from the Australian Coast. 



Loa. Katau, Hall Sound, &c.

Evidently a very common species, distributed over the whole 

 of the Southern part of New Guinea, and the North and North- 

 Eastern shores of Australia.

At present this is the only instance or record of undoubted

 They differ in no way from the Australian birds.
