I have met with this species in four collections, but it appears 

 to be scarce or difficult to obtain.

I believe now, that certain young specimens which at different 

 times I had determined as the 3'oung of C. chrysochlora of Grould 

 were the immature birds of the present species, which may be 

 distinguished by having no ivhite shoulder hand ; when fully adult 

 C. mortoni is a decidedly larger bird and has other differences as 

 pointed out in my description. (I. c.) 



I have only seen five adult specimens besides the type, 

 one of which is i]i the Macleay Museum, and probably from 

 Cockerell's collection.*

I am not quite sure as to the authenticity of this locality, 

 having forgotten to give the authority in my note book. 



* It is quite possible that the Olialcopha'ps I described as G. chrysochlora var 

 satidtvicliensis, is the young of this species, and is not as some collectors have 

 asserted it to be the young of C. chri/soc7dor:t.
