There are two specimens of this apparently new Megapode in tlio collec- 

 tion. One from Lutur, Timor-laut, obtained Sc[)tembc;r22iid, is marked 

 " Iridcs dark brown ; bill pale yellow; legs in front black, but front of 

 knees red, back of legs red; feet black." The other, from Kirimun, is 

 labelled "Iris brown; bill pale yellow; legs and feet red." But the 

 colours of these last-named parts, so far as can be told from the dry skins, 

 do not materially differ from those of the first specimen; and the two 

 birds agree in plumage, except that the specimen from the islet of Kirimun 

 is rather more reddish on the face.

Dr. Sclater concludes liis paper with the following remark^ whic i I 

 reproduce, as the recent discoverirs of Mr Eiedel s collectors ha.c not 

 materially modified the conclusions arrived at by the writer "i K ^ • 

 "I will say a few word.s concerning the general charactcT of the av^^^^""'^ 

 of the Teniraber Islands so far as it is indicated by this collection. It 

 is quite evident that the prevailing facies of thi.s ornis is, a-s might havo 

 been expected, predominantly Papuan. Of the spp-^ios inf »'l' '»,f >f^
