REINWARDTENAS, Bp. 
reinwardti (Zemm.). Three. 1 jr. Celebes. Gilolo. 
The juvenile bird is in moult to the plumage of the adult, and has the back and 
scapulars partially rufous, with one or two lavender feathers on the nape. 
reinwardti, subsp. griseotincta, Hart. Nov. Zool. iii, pp. 18, 19 (1896). 
** Comparing specimens of &. reinwardti from S.E. New Guinea, Kaiser Wilhelmsland, 
Arfak, Waigiou, and the Moluccas, I find that the Moluccan birds are much 
more white on head, neck, and breast, and have more dark feathers on the wing- 
coverts, besides being a little smaller as a rule; while the birds from New 
Guinea ‘Have the head, neck, and breast much darker grey, more rufous on the 
wing-coverts, and are perhaps a little larger. Waigiou specimens stand some- 
what between Moluccan and Papuan specimens in the darkness of the neck and 
breast, but belong rather to the latter. Of the New Guinea specimens it may 
be said that those from Arfak seem to be a little lighter than those from the 
eastern and southern parts of the island, where they are of the darkest grey. In 
any case, however, the Moluccan bird is easily recognisable as being whiter, and 
it is, therefore, desirable to give the Papuan bird a subspecific name 
Count Salvadori, to whom we owe so much of our knowledge of the Papuan 
Islands, has already (see Ornitol. Papuas. iii. p. 128) pointed out some differences 
between Moluccan and Papuan specimens, but gave no new name as he did not 
consider such local forms important enough to give them a name.” (Hartert).
