This is quite a 3'oung bird, with the back uniform olive-green without white 



dots, underside creamy white with longitudinal grey spots. It is of course not 



quite certain that this bird belongs to lih. crassirostris, but we have little doubt 



that our identification is correct.

It would be desirable to compare a series from Simbang, as well as well- 

 prepared fresli skins from Waigiu (terra typica of the name eque.s) and N.W. 

 Papua. The specimens from British New Guinea are absolutely identical with 

 those from the Setekwa River ; they are darker than typical eques, but can hardly 

 be said to be more greyish.
