Count Salvadori's fourth treatise ou the birds collected by 

 Dr. Lamberto Loria gives us an account of two collections 

 made by that distinguished traveller in various localities on 

 the coast of South-eastern New Guinea in 1891, 1892, and 

 1893. These collections contain altogether 77^ specimens, 

 which are referred to 187 species. Five of these have been 

 already described as new in 1894 [cf. Ibis, 1894, p. 5G3), 

 and ] 1 more are characterized in the present memoir. 



Count Salvadori points out that the fauna of Moroka, a 

 mountainous region, formerly visited by Goldie, is different 

 from that of the adjoining coast-lauds. In this district 

 only are found such rare and beautiful Paradise-birds as 

 Paradisornis rudolphi, Parotia laivesi, Lophorhina minor, 

 and Loria loria. 



The study of Loria's specimens has enabled Count Sal- 

 vadori to identify several of the new species lately described 

 by Mr. De Vis from Sir William Macgregor's collections^. 

 Besides the Paradise-birds already mentioned, a fine adult 

 male example of the rare Casuarius picticoUis, Scl., was 

 obtained in Moroka. 



The species described as new in the present paper are : — 



Syma megarhynclia. Sericornis perspicillata. 



^gotheles rufescens. olivacea. 



Monarcha heterurus. Eupetes iorige. 



Gerygone giulianettii. Mauucodia orientalis. 



Pachycephala sliarpei. Dip]i)llodes xanthoptera. 

 Eutliyrhyucbus meyeri.
