lata viridi-nigrescente, posted fascia albescenti-viridi 

 terminatis; remigibus nigrescentibus viridi limbatis; 

 torque pectoral! flavo ; pectore et abdomine c6raseis, late- 

 ribus viridibus ; subalaribus schistaceis ; abdomine et 

 crisso flavis; rostro plumbeo, pedibus ceraseis. ? supra 

 et subtus omnino viridis ; abdomine et crisso ilavis, quoad 

 caudam mari similis. Long. tot. 8*2, al8e4*6, caudae 3*5, 

 tarsi 0*7. 

 Iris bright yellow ; feet dark cherry. 



A very distinct species of this lovely genus. The extent 

 of the delicate cherry-colour on the breast and abdomen 

 seems its most conspicuous character ; and from this I have 

 named it. 



29. Carpophaga pistrinaria, Bp. 

 Iris light red ; feet cherry-colour. 



30. Carpophaga (Globiuera) richardsi, sp. nov. 



C. cupreo-viridis ; capite, cervice et tergo summo canis ; jugulo 



albo-vinaceo, mento pallidiore; pectore, abdomine, crisso, 



femoribus et tectricibus caudae inferioribus castaneis; 



remigibus rectricibusque atro-cyaneis viridi micantibus ; 



ceromate tumido, rubro ; pedibus rubris. Long. tot. 



15" 75, alse 9, caudas 6. 



Nearly allied to Carpophaga rubracera, Gr., but with the 



head and neck ashy, like the upper back, and only the throat 



of a pale vinaceous pink ; the whole of the rest of the under 



surface deep chestnut, increasing in intensity towards the 



lower tail- coverts. 



Iris dark red ; feet cherry ; bill dark ash, and the knob at 

 the base cherry-colour. 



31. Macropygia arossi, sp. nov. 



M. omnino intense castanea ; occipite et thorace nigro j)unc- 

 tatis, mento pallidiore ; tectricibus remigum et cauda in- 

 tensioribus; rectricibus externis macula subterminali 

 nigra in pogonio interiore prseditis ; remigibus brunneis. 

 Long. tot. 15'5, alse 5*45, caudae 5"95. 

 Very closely allied to M. rufa, Ramsay, from Tanna, but 



smaller, of much darker shade of chestnut in all its parts, and 



to be at once distinguished by the black stippling of the 



head and throat. 



" Iris light drab ; feet dark cherry-colour. Food berries."
