[Description d'lm Ecbidn^ et d'uii Perroquet inedits de la Nouvelle- 

 Guinee. Par M. Alpb. Dubois. Bull. Soc. Mus. R. d'Hist. Nat. Belgique, 

 tome iii. 1884, p. 109.] 



In a fine collection of mammals and birds from New 

 Guinea, presented to the Brussels Museum by M. C. W. R. 

 van Renesse van Duivenbode, is an example of a new species 

 of Parrot of the genus Chalcopsittacus which M. Dubois 

 describes and figures as Ch. duivenbodei. 



15. Filhol on the Osteology of the Penguins. 



[Observations relatives aux caracteres ost^ologiques de certaines especea 

 A^Eudyptes et de Spheniscus. Par M. H. Filhol. Bull. Soc. Philom. 

 eer. 7, vi. p. 226 (1882).] 



^. Filhol has utilized the numerous %\e\eiox\8 oi Eudyptes 

 antipodum and E. chrysocome which he obtained at Campbell 

 Island, by a careful study of their bones and a comparison of 

 them with the corresponding bones of Spheniscus demersus. 



16. Filhol on the Diaphragm of the Penguins. 



[Sur la constitution du diapbragnie des Eudyptes. Par M. H. Filhol. 

 Bull. Soc. Philom. ser. 7, vi. p. 235.] 



The specimens examined are E. chrysocome and E. anti- 

 podum. Their diaphragm consists of two portions, the usual 

 pulmonary and a thoracico-abdominal one ; the latter is 

 partly the continuation of the ?w. transversus abdominis, and 

 partly augmented by a peculiar muscular slip, called by 

 M. Filhol m. diaphragmaticus transversus . The air-sacs are 

 remarkably well developed, although these birds do not possess 

 the power of flight. He distinguishes two diaphragmatic, one 

 thoracic and abdominal, and two cervical air-sacs. 



17. Filhol on the Arterial System of the Penguins.
