Rhipidura macgillivrayi Sharpe, P. Z. S. 1881, p. 789, pl. 67.

13. Rhipidura fallax Ramsay. 
Rhipidura fallax Ramsay, P. Z. S. 1884, p. 580. 
Hab. Astrolabe Range, S. E. New Guinea,

wanting the white patch above the eye. 
14. Rhipidura atra Salvadori. 
Rhipidura atra Salvad. Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, VII, p. 922 (1875); 
XII, p. 324 (1878). 
Rhipidura brachyrhyncha (nec Schleg.) Sharpe, Cat. B. Br. Mus. 
IV, p. 316 (description of adult male); Salvad. (partim) Ann. 
Mus. Civ. Genova, XIV, p. 500 (1879); id. Orn. Pap. II, p. 72 (1881). 
Adult male and female slaty black with a silky 
white patch above the eye. Young birds seem to have a 
red plumage, as Count Salvadori (Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, 
VII, p. 922) mentioned a black bird with some red feathers, 
which latter may be considered the remnants of the im- 
mature plumage. The same seems to be the case with 
R. flabellifera (see Sharpe, Cat. Birds, IV, p. 309). 
Adult male and female from Arfak, collected by Bruyn 
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XV.
