“* Male at 3450 feet: iris yellow, March 19. This bird with another similar to it, 
obtained some time ago from Port Moresby, differs from the P. bellus of western 
highlands in the following points :—The bill is green with a yellow tip: between 
the purple of the abdomen and white of the breast is a patch of deep green like 
that of the occiput; the rectrices are not margined with yellow, and the 
secondaries only so margined near the tips ; finally, the colour of the wing is 
fuscous washed with green.” (De Vis.). Habitat. Mt. Maneao, British New 
Guinea.
