GOURID. 
GOURA, Steph. 
coronata (Linn.). Four. Skel. New Guinea. 
cinerea, Hart. Nor. Zool. ii. p. 67 (1895). 
‘General colour above and below cinereous, darker and almost slate grey on the 
rump and under tail-coverts, lighter and more like pearl grey (Ridgw., Nomencl. 
Col., pl. ii. fig. 20) on the crest, which has the same form as that of G. coronata. 
Lores and a broad ring round the eye of short soft black feathers. A band across 
the back, formed of the tips of the feathers, which have slate grey bases, and 
tips of the upper wing-coverts of a tint between tawny ochraceous and ochraceous 
rufous of Ridgway (Nomencl. Col., pl. v. figs. 4 and 5), and entirely different 
from the deep chestnut of the same parts in G. coronata, which, even when 
bleached, could hardly become anything like this colour. Greater upper wing- 
coverts and secondary quills whitish grey, darker at base. Primaries slate 
colour, paler along the shaft; rectrices slaty grey, lighter cinereous close to the 
shaft, and with a broad cinereous band at the tip; under wing and tail-coverts 
slaty grey ; bill and feet in skin of a light yellowish or brownish colour ; bill, 
4-5 em. ; wing, 34 cm. (= 13-4 inches) ; tail, 25 em. ; tarsus, 9 cm. ; middle toe 
with claw, 7 em.” (Hartert). Habitat. Dutch New Guinea, Arfak Region. 
sclateri, Salvd. Two heads. S.E. New Guinea. 
albertisii, Salvad. Four. SouthEast New Guinea (Fly R. ; Port Moresby). 
The specimen from Fly R. (= No. 9695 'Tristr. Mus.) is not G. sclateri as Count 
Salvadori suggests (Cat. Birds, Brit. Mus. xxi. p. 622), as it lacks the chestnut 
on the upper wing-coverts characteristic of that species. No, 38from Port 
cat mae! is presumably a young bird, as the chestnut on the greater wing-coverts 
is absent. 
scheepmakeri, /insch. 
victoria (Fraser). Two. Jobi Island. 
beccarii, Salvad. 
beccarii, subsp. huonensis, Meyer.

The CoLUMB are, therefore, represented in the Museum by 64 out of 
the 70 characterised genera (2 being fossil forms) ; and by 1304 specimens 
belonging to 342 out of the 532 described species (6 being fossil forms). 
The number of species represented by their Types (or Co-types) is 13; 
besides 6 relegated to the synonymy. (December, 1899.)
