3 S ad., native-made skins, evidently from Dutch New Guinea, received from 

 Mr. van Duivenbode. 



Dr. Sharpe, in his "Monograph oi i]xe. Pamdiseidac" rather unwarrantably left 

 the i|uestion of the identity of Loria loriae Salvadori and Cnemophilus iiiariao 

 De Vis open. AVo consider that at the time when he wrote his " Monograph " he 

 had access to a quite sufficient number of specimens to decide this (piestion. 

 However, we have since e.xamined not only the 24 specimens in the Tring Museum, 

 but quite a numlier of others as well. There can be no doubt that C/iemojJiili/s 

 iMxriae is the fully adult male aud/emale of Loria loriae. The apparent jiresence 

 or absence of the fold-like wattle at the gape is entirely due to the preparation of 

 the skin, though Count Salvadori's bird, being apparently young, may have shown 

 it slightly more than most of the skins that came afterwards.
