102. Rothschild and Hartert on Papuan Birds. 



[Notes on Papuan Birds. By the Hon. W. Rothschild and E. Hartert. 

 Nov. Zool. x. p. 65.] 



The authors continue their notes on Papuan birds, of 

 which the Tring Museum contains an almost unrivalled series. 

 Of the Paradiseidae, which are first treated, 87 out of 96 

 recognised forms are represented at Tring by 1292 skins. 

 The specimens are now catalogued systematically and notes 

 are added. Of Lobo-paradisea sericea the three only known 

 examples are at Tring, but the exact locality is still un- 

 certain. Loborhamphus nobiiis (Bull. B. O. C. xii. p. 34) is 

 figured. Manucodia atra altera is a new subspecies. The 

 Corvidse and Laniidae of Papua are next reviewed. In the 

 latter family Pilohui (scr. Rhectes) dohertyi is a new species 

 from Ron Island, in the Bay of Geelvink, P. meyeri a new 

 species from Northern New Guinea, and Pinarofestes mega- 

 rhyncha madaraszi and P. m. despectus are two new sub- 

 species. A new Pachycephala is descri!>ed from British New 

 Guinea as P. moroka. Six Papuan Dicrurida? are recognised, 

 of which Dicrurus meeki from Guadalcanal', Solomon Islands, 

 is new. Lists of the Oriolidse, Artamidse, and Sturnidse 

 follow and conclude the present instalment of the Papuan 

 Birds.

We have here an account of the collection of birds made 

 by H.R.H. the Duke of the Abruzzi during his celebrated 

 North-Polar expedition of 1899-1900. As might have been 

 expected from the locality visited, the series was not 

 large, embracing only 38 specimens, which are referred by
