According to C^onut Salvador! the specimeu.s with uniform yellow sides of the 

 head are adnlt ones, those with a large auricular patcb of olive young, but we are 

 inclined (in spite of some contradictory sex-marks put ou labels by more or less 

 unreliable collectors) to think that the latter are the fem^'/i's. They show no sign 

 of immaturity, their wing is always shorter, the yellow on the forehead narrower, 

 the black band above the latter not well developed. 



This bird is probably (juite incorrectly placed among the [joiiidue.

('onnt Salvadori records the Australian bracteata from the Fly River. It is 

 very strange that carhoimrid should occur in all other parts of New Guinea, and 

 true bi-dcli'dtd on the Fly Riven- 



Count Salvadori also unites the Am form with carboiiiirin, bnt its much smaller 

 size alone wonld justify its separation.
