 Drymophila carinata, Temm., pi. col 4il8., fig. 2. 



I quite agree with Mr. Sharpe that it is better to keep the 

 New Guinea forms of this bird under the specific name given by 

 Teramink (t. c.) than create a new species on such trivial 

 differences. The black on forehead and chin varies with age in 

 extent and intensity in the Australian examples also. This species 

 is common at Port Moresby.

55. — Akses telescophthalmu?. Gam. 



Voy. de la Goq. Zool. Atlas pi. No. 19, fig. 1. ( 6^ ) ; Sharpe, op. 

 cit. XIII pp. 316, 497; Kamsay,op. cit. I. p. 391. 



One male obtained by Mr. Masters has the plumage of the 

 female except that the head is black and shows a slight indication 

 of white just in front of the lores, at the base of the feathers ; this 

 would seem to indicate that the young males do not attain the 

 black and white plumage until the 2nd year. On comparing 

 females of these species with the figure of Muscicapa enado, in 

 the Atlas of the Voy. de la Coquille, pi. No. 15, fig. 2, I feel sure 

 that they are identical, but the flaffy feathers on the hind neck 

 are not well represented in the figure, which may have been 

 taken from a young individual. 



Loc. Hall Sound.

This is undoubtedly a good species, the jet black frontal band 

 slightly raised above the feathers of the forehead, and in some 

 specimens the much lighter colour of the front of the head im- 

 mediately behind it, will at once distinguish this species from the 

 Australian G. hypoleucos. 



Loc. Hall Sound, Katau.
