the Genus Macropygia. 2-fcl 



species, with marks on the inner web. Wing 7*5 to 7'7 

 inches, tail 8 to 8'3, tarsus 1, bill 1. 



The sexes appear to be alike. Specimens vary considerably 

 in the shade of brown as well as in the degree of barring. 



Dr. Meyer has kindly lent me the types from the Dresden 

 Museum ; one is much darker than others above and much 

 more rufous below, most likely a younger bird. 



Hab. Timor-laut. 



The next group is a well-marked one, and has been sepa- 

 rated by Bonaparte as Reinivardtoenas. It looks exactly 

 like Macropygia except in plumage. I have retained the 

 generic title because it may be found, when Reinwardtcenas is 

 anatomically examined, that it differs from Macropygia, and, 

 further, had I suppressed it, a new title would have become 

 necessary for R. minor, Schlegel, since that name is already 

 preoccupied by Swinhoe for the Hainan race of M. tusalia. 

 The tail is exactly as in Macropygia. 



Group E. — Of two colours, chestnut or slate and white ; 

 of large size.

Adult. Head, neck, and mantle pale lavender, darkest on 

 the latter ; primaries and wing-coverts dark brown, with a 

 purplish tinge ; the remainder of the upper surface rich 

 chestnut ; beneath nearly pure white as far as the abdomen, 

 which is lavender, getting deeper on the lower tail-coverts ; 

 rectrices, two outer pairs pale lavender, with a transverse bar 

 and tip of brown, the next pair barred with brown and tipped 

 with chestnut, the two next pairs chestnut, with a brown base 

 and a lavender bar ; under wing-coverts dark slaty, axillaries 

 lavender. 



Sexes alike.
