 quills underneath dusky ; the innermost secondaries near the 

 scapulars yellowish on the inner web ; under wing coverts and 

 axillaries bright blue : bill and feet dusky. Total length 10-2

Hah. New Guinea, near Andai. 



This species is only known from the type-specimen in the 

 Museum of Genoa, apparently a female ; and it is not impossible 

 that, notwithstanding the differences noted, it may turn out to 

 be an accidental variety of G. pucherani : a most peculiar character 

 is the yellowish tinge on the inner web of the innermost secondaries 

 near the scapulars, a feature that G. dorsalis has in common with 

 ' G. simplex and G. heteroclitus.
