pared with C.phcenicotis, to the female of which it is apparently 

 nearly allied*. 



66. Salvadori's Prodromus of Papuan Ornithology. 

 [Prodromus Omitliologiae Papuasias et Moluccarum. V. Accipitres. 

 Ann. Mus. Genov. xii, p. 32.] 



Of Accipitres in the Papuan subregion, Salvadori recognizes 

 54 species, of which 38 are represented in the collections of 

 D^Albertis, Beccari, and Bruijn by 242 specimens. Ninox 

 salamonis, Sharpe, = iV. variegata (Q. et G.), as pointed out 

 by Sclater, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 290. This reduces the list 

 by one. 



Q7 . Salvadori on a new Species o/Lanius. 

 [Descrizione di una nuova specie del genere Lanius. Ann. Mus. Genov. 

 xii. 25 May, 1878.] 



Lanius antinorii is based on a single male specimen, ob- 

 tained by jMarchese Orazio Antinori near Afinu (Danakil) in 

 August 1876. It seems to be allied to L. pallidirostris, 

 Cassin.

This paper gives the results o£ the author^s recent exami- 

 nation of the specimens of Papuan birds in the collections of 

 Paris, London, Leyden, Bremen, Berlin, Dresden, and Vienna, 

 made in September and October last year. The new species 

 described are : — 



1. Nesocentor aruensis, from the Aru Islands. 



3. Hirundinapus celebensis, from Celebes. 



3. Monarcha diadematus, from Obi. 



4. Monaixha bernsteinii, from Salwatty. 



* Since the above was in type, Hen* von Pelzeln has kindly sent his 

 specimen to us for inspection. There can be little doubt, we think, that the 

 skin is that of a female C. phoenicotis, of which we have precisely similar 

 specimens in om* collections.
