in the southern part of Geelvink Bay, from British New 

 Guinea, and from Kaiser Wilhelm's Land.

 p. 67 (1901). 



Lorius lory, subsp. ?, Rothsch. & Hartert, ibid. p. 67 

 (Takar) (1901). 



It appears to me that specimens from Takar, which only 

 differ from those of Jobie in having a shorter wiug (160 mm. 

 against 175 mm.), cannot be separated from L. jobiensis : 

 it is a well-known fact that many species of Jobie Island 

 extend to the northern coast of New Guinea, east of Geel- 

 vink Bay.

 (1896). 



Lorius lory salvadorii Rothsch. & Hartert, Nov. Zool. viii. 

 p. 67 (1901). 



" This form differs from L. jobiensis mainly in its much 

 smaller size, especially as regards the bill and wings; the 

 latter measuring only about 160 mm. Besides the smaller 

 size, the red of the breast is somewhat more scarlet, without 

 a rosy tinge ; the hind-neck and upper back are deeper, 

 almost black ; the upper abdomen is also generally darker, 

 the under tail-coverts generally, but not always, deeper 

 blue. The smaller size is the most constant character of 

 this form."
