has five distinct broad black stripes on the upperside, and 

 that the tawny-coloured stripes between them are narrower 

 than the black. 



(6) I described, in the year 1884 (Z. ges. Orn. i. p. 296, 

 sp. 8:2), an egg of a Casuarius from Aru, which Mr. Roth- 

 schild has designated, with a query, as that of either 

 C. casuarius beccarii Scl. (p. 117), from Vokan, or of 

 C. hicarunculatus Scl. (p. 130), from Wammer and Kabroor. 

 Since my description was published, I have been able to 

 enquire of the collector as to the exact locality whence the 

 specimen came, and have been told that it was from Ureiuning, 

 on the Wanumbay River. It must therefore belong to the 

 latter species. 



(7) I cannot agree with Mr. Rothschild as to the locality 

 of Mansinam (p. 141). The village on the mainland is 

 called Mansehnan, not to be confounded with Mansinam on 

 the island of Manaswari, Manseiman being up the mountain 

 — cf. my ' Neu-Guinea Tagebuch,' pp. 11 & 15, and map 

 (1875). This, however, is of little consequence. 



So far as I know, the splendid series of Cassowaries in the 

 Turati Collection, now in the Museum of Milan, has not 

 yet been sufficiently studied. These specimens, with their 

 localities, would perhaps add something to our knowledge of 

 the group, which is, even after Mr. Rothschild's admirable 

 endeavours, far from being complete.

XIX. — On the Habits and Haunts of the Noio or Hawaiian 

 Noddy Tern. By H. W. Henshaw. 



Upon much of the windward side of the Island of Hawaii 

 the coast is bold and rugged ; nor has it been entirely in vain 

 that the north-east trades have essayed their might against 

 the obdurate volcanic rock for centui'ies, as witness the many 

 little bays and recesses which have been formed. 



Tliis rugged, lonely, surf-streaked coast is the haunt of 

 the Noio [Anous hawaiiensis) , which species, the Tropic-bird,
