 this species we have in our Museum is Mount Arfak, specimens 

 collected by von Rosenberg and those purchased from Woel- 

 ders. Nos. 1 and 6 of Schlegel's Catalogue are specimens of the 

 old » Cabinet Temminck". The types of Sericulus xanthogaster 

 are a male in immature dress and two females of this species, 

 collected by von Rosenberg in April 1870 near Hattam. 



I take this opportunity of adding to my paper » On a new 

 bird of paradise" in the foregoing volume of this periodical, 

 that the Diphyllodes guUelmi III, mentioned on page 129, 

 was from Arfoe, Kleine Geelvink Bay, West of Doreh, and 

 tliat Mr. Ruys presented also to our Museum a bad skin 

 of a male Pteridophora alberti, which is collected near 

 Kwatisori on the southcoast of the Geelvink Bay.
