ON BIRDS FROM MERAUKE. 79 
Dupetor flavicollis gouldi (Bonaparte). 
Cf. Van Oort, Nova Guinea, IX, livr. 1, 1909, p. 54. 
One female. 
Leracidea berigora novaeguineae A. B. Meyer. 
Hieracidea novaeguineae A. B. Meyer, Journ. f. Orn. 1894, p. 89. 
One unsexed specimen. 
This example, an adult one, is almost uniformly brown 
above and below; the feathers of the upper surface have 
very indistinct rufous edgings; those of the crown have 
distinct black shaftstripes, which are also indicated on the 
feathers of the nape, back, scapulars and breast. The outer 
webs of the primaries are unspotted, only very small in- 
distinct spots are to be seen on the outer web of the 
seventh primary in the right wing and on that of the 
eighth one in the left wing. The tail is almost unbanded, 
only near the base of the tailfeathers there are a few spots 
of light rufous at the upper surface; the basal half of the 
under surface of the tail is indistinctly banded. As to the 
lack of bands and spots on the tail, this specimen seems 
to differ from the type-specimens of Dr, A. B. Meyer from 
German New Guinea. Also the tarso-metatarsus is longer 
than in the specimens from German New Guinea and equals 
that of examples of berigora and of orientalis. When further 
material proves that these features are constant, then the 
specimens from southern New Guinea must be separated. 
Wing 340, tail 205, culmen 22, tarso-met. 68 mm. 
Astur torquatus (Temminck). 
Falco torguatus Temminck, Pl. col. 43, 93, 1823. (Ex Cuvier). 
Astur torquatus, Shatpe, Cat. B. Br. M. I, 1874, p. 125. 
Urospizias torquatus, Salvadori, Orn. Pap. I, 1880, p. 60. 
One male, 
Wing 220 mm. This example agrees perfectly with a 
specimen from Cape York in the collection of the Leyden 
Museum. Its under surface is somewhat paler than in our 
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXXII.
