C. occipitalis of Salvadori, from Ansus, Jobi, of which 

 the typical specimen is now at Genoa, is a close ally of

 New-Guinea Birds. 



[Descrizione di una niiova specie di uccello del genere Chalcopsittacus, 

 Bp., e note intorno ad altre specie di uccelli della Naova Guinea. Atti 

 della R. Ac. Sci. Tor. xiii. p. 309.] 



Chalcopsittacus bruijni, sp. nov., is from the Papuan island 

 Amberpon, in the Bay of Geelvink ; it is based on two female 

 examples sent home by Hr. Briiijn through M. Laglaize. 

 The same species appears to have also been described by M. 

 Oustalet as C. insignis (Bull. Ass. Sc. France, Jan. 20, 1878). 

 Other rare species spoken of in this article are Cuculus leu- 

 colophus of S. Miiller, from Warbusi, and Chalcophaps beccarii, 

 from Mount Arfak, of which the male is now described for 

 the first time.

Gives an account of a collection from the island of Tarawai, 

 or D'Urville Island, on the north coast of New Guinea 

 (143° 7' E. lat.), sent by Hr. Bruijn through M. Laglaize^.

 Hermotimia cornelia is described as new. The others are 

 known Papuan species. 



* Cf. Oustalet, Bull. Ass. Sc. France, No. 553 (Jan. 1878), where three 

 of these birds are described as new. But Salvadori states that Merops 

 modestus, Oust, = M. oj-natus; Chcenorhamphus cyaiiopectus, Oiist.,= To- 

 dopsis grayi ; and Megapodius decollatus, Oust., = 3/. a finis, Meyer.
