158 SCLATER ON THE ZOOLOGY OE NEW GUINEA. 



in the present instance it is important to show the prevalence of this Au- 

 stralian generic form in New Guinea.

B. Austr. iv. pi. 51. . Loho {Mull.). Mus. Lugd.

T. corniculatus, Miill. Verh. Ethn. p. 21. West coast of New Guinea,

This is very likely to be the same species as has been lately figured by 

 Mr. Gould as T. buceroides, Suppl. B. Austr. pt. ii. pi. 17, in which case it 

 ought to bear that name.

 Jlaviventer, Less. Man. d'Orn. ii. p. 6/. Havre-Dorey (Less.); R. Oeta- 

 nata (Miill.). Mus. Lugd.

 tris murina, Bp. Consp. p. 218. 



There are specimens of both sexes of this bird in the Leyden Museum, 

 coloured alike. It seems congeneric with B. capistratus (Myiothera capis-

 scription of the present species : — 



Supra terricolori-brunncus, cauda rufescentiore, capite laterali cineras-
