214 NEW BIRDS FROM NEW GUINEA, 
flanks not yellow but blue like the breast. Iris blue-black, 
bill and feet black. Wing 117, tail 116, bill 16, tarso-met. 
95 mm. 
Q, Hellwig Mountains (2600 m.), 22 October 1909; coll. 
Lorentz n° 227, — Like the male but smaller. Wing 113, 
tail 105, bill 16, tarso-met. 32 mm. 
cf juv., Hellwig Mountains (2600 m.), 24 October 1909; 
coll. Lorentz n° 236. — Like the adult but duller and 
breast mottled with yellow. 
Daphaenositta miranda frontalis nov. subspec. 
cf, Hellwig Mountains (2600 m.), 21 October 1909; 
coll. Lorentz n° 219. — Similar to the female Daphaenositta 
miranda De Vis, but a broad band on the fore head crimson, 
feathers of throat crimson with white bases, sides of face 
crimson. The colour of the feet is noted by Mr. Loyentz 
as „pale green”, that of the iris as „dark sepia”; the bill 
is black. Wing 85, tail 40, bill 10, tarso-met. 19 mm. 
A second male collected by Mr. Lorentz quite resembles 
the first, only the colour of the iris is marked ,,grey-blue” 
and that of the feet „dark olive-green”. Unfortunately 
females have not been collected. The differences between 
these two birds and the female Daphaenositta miranda are 
of such kind, that it appears to me that they cannot be 
only sexual differences. I therefore separate these specimens 
subspecifically. A young male, shot on the same day as 
n° 219, is black; fore head and throat cinnamon; head, back 
aud breast mottled, secondaries and tailfeathers tipped with 
cinnamon. 
Oreornis, nov. gen. Meliphagidarum. 
Bill rather short, shorter than the head, culmen slightly 
curved, black; nostrils placed in a broad groove at the base 
of the bill and covered by a membrane.: Wings rather long, 
a little longer than the tail. The fourth and the fifth 
primary equal in length and longest, third primary a little
