describes the hitherto unknown male of Trichoylossus pul- 

 chelliis of Gray, and gives other interesting remarks on species 

 allied to those above mentioned. 



In his second paper* Dr, Meyer describes Monarcha kor- 

 densis, from Mysore, Artamus maximus, from the Arfak moun- 

 tains, and Rectes jobiensis, from Jobi, and gives remarks on 

 species of Rectes, Myiolestes, Podargus, Megapodius, &c. As 

 regards the Cassowaries of New Guinea, Dr. INIcyer brought 

 from the vicinity of Havre Dorey one immature and another 

 very young example of Casuai'ius, which he cannot certainly 

 determine. In reference to C. papuanus of Rosenberg, ob- 

 tained near the same locality, Dr. Meyer considers it doubt- 

 fully distinct from C uniappendiculatusf. 



In his third paper J three new species of Campephaga arc 

 described under the names C. montana, C. maforensis, and 

 C. incerta, and remarks are given upon other species of the 

 genus met with. Rectes obscura is characterized as new ; and 

 different plumages of R. nigrescens of Schlegel, of which four 

 examples were obtained, are described. Of Pachycephala, 

 which is next spoken of, two new species (P. haltamensis and 

 P. affinis) , apparently allied to Pueheran's Pteruthrius spini- 

 caudus, were collected, besides examples of Pachycephala 

 senex, Pueh., and P. griseiceps, G. R. Gray. Of Monarcha 

 an interesting new species of the same form as M. telescoph- 

 thalma was discovered in Jobi, and is named M. insularis. 

 Of the singular Corvine form, Gymnocorvus senex, thi'ce spe- 

 cimens were obtained, two on the mainland of New Guinea 

 and one in Jobi. They present slight differences, Avhich are 

 duly pointed out. The Strix tenebricosa of Australia is stated 

 to have been procured in the Arfak mountains, also a single

t Casuarius kanpi, Scl. (nee Rosenb.), is undoubtedly distinct from C. 

 uniappendiculafus ; and I have now renamed it C. westermanni. See P. Z. 

 S. 1874, p. 247. Nor can I myself understand how it is possible to con- 

 found C. uniappendiculatus with any other species. Even in its imma- 

 ture brown plumage, as shown by the living example now in the Zoolo- 

 gical Society's Gardens, this Cassowai-y has a distinct median wattle.
