OF NEW SOUTH WALKS. 286 



120. — Campephaga sloetii, Schleg. 



One specimen, an adult male, of this beautiful species sent by 

 Broadbent, has the black of the throat extending well over the 

 chest, and the yellow of the sides of the nape extends to the 

 crown of the head. 



Loc. Goldie River. 



121. — Lalage RUFIVENTRIS-, Homb. et Jacq., Voy. au Pole, Sud., 



pi XI, fig. 1. 

 In all the specimens of this Lalage I have seen from Port 

 Moresby, the flanks, abdomen, and under tail-coverts have been 

 strongly tinged with rusty rufous ; the transverse bars on the 

 under surface are narrow and close together ; the bills vary in size, 

 in some 0*05 longer than in others. 



MELIPHAGID^. 

 122. — Myzomela obscura, Gould. Bds. Aust, foL Vol. IV, pi. 67. 

 123.— Conopophila albogularis, Gould. Bds. Aust.yfol. Vol. pi. 61. 



Both species are found abundant in the Port Moresby district, 

 on the banks of the Laloki ; the young of the latter species re- 

 semble the adult, have the under surface white, with a dull 

 brownish band across the chest. 



124 — Stigmatops ALBOAURicuLARis, j^amsa^/. P.L.S. of N.8.W., 



vol. III., p. 75. 



Mr. Kendal Broadbent obtained this very distinct species 

 during a trip to the south-east end of the peninsula. It was 

 found frequenting the mangroves and trees near the sea shore on 

 a small island off " Hater " Island. It is easily distinguished 

 from the two Australian species by the extent of the minute 

 silvery feathers behind the eye and near the gape. 



125. — Ptilotts germana, Ramsay. P.L.S. of N.S.W., vol. III., 



pt. 1, p. 2. 



I have only seen three specimens of this species from Port 

 Moresby, but I believe it is also found on the islands in Torres 

 Straits. They were obtained on the Laloki River at a con- 

 siderable distance inland.
