82 ON BIRDS FROM MERAUKE. 
Mimeta flavocincta, Salvadori, Orn. Pap. II, 1881, p. 471. 
Oriolus flavocinctus milleri, Rothschild & Hartert, Nov. Zool. X, 
1903, p. 111. 
Four specimens. 
Examples from the Aroe Islands and from New Guinea 
agree perfectly with specimens from Australia. The type- 
specimen of Mimeta miilleri Bonaparte, Consp. Av. I, 1850, 
p. 346, is a female, collected by S. Müller in 1828 at 
the Straits of Princess Marianne (at that time named the 
Dourga River); it does not differ in any respect from 
specimens of O. flavocinctus from Australia. 
Oriolus sagittata magnirostris nov. subsp. 
[Coracias sagittata Latham, Suppl. Ind. Orn. 1801, p. XXVI] 
A young male, 
This example, which apparently belongs to a new sub- 
species, is similar to young specimens of Oriolus sagittata 
(Latham) = Oriolus viridis (Latham), ef. Robinson and 
Laverock, Ibis, 1900, p. 625, but differs by its conspicu- 
ously heavier and longer bill, 35 mm., whereas the maximum 
length in sagittata is 31 mm. and the bill in this latter form 
is more slender. The upper surface is a little paler than 
in specimens from Australia. Length of wing 147 mm., thus 
longer than in the so-called Oriolus affinis Gould. 
Dicrurus bracteatus Gould. 
Dicrurus bracteatus Gould, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1842, p. 132. ; 
Chibia bracteata, Sharpe, Cat. B. Br. M. III, 1877, p. 236. 
Dicruropsis bracteata, Salvadori, Orn. Pap. IL, 1881, p. 174. 
A male and a female. 
These specimens have a green lustre in the glossy parts 
of the plumage. Wing of male 158, of female 149 mm.
