Mr. R. B. Sharp e read the fifth of his series of contributions to the 

 Ornithology of New Guinea, namely »On recent Collections from the neigh- 

 bourhood of Port Moresby«. This interesting collection was obtained by 

 Mr. Kendal Broadbent and usefully compares with those previously got by 

 Signor Albertis from the neighbourhood of the Fly River. A Parrot of the 

 genus Aprosmictus closely resembles one from the Fly River, but nevertheless 

 is specifically distinct, offering thus a parallel case to the Crowned Pigeons, 

 Goura Albertisi, inhabiting Port Moresby, and, on the other hand, G. Scla- 

 terij found on the Fly River. So far as is at present known, it appears that 

 the affinities of the South Eastern New Guinea species seem to be with those 

 of Australia, a few only veering to those of the Aru Islands. — J. Murie.
