86 A NATURALIST IN CANNIBAL LAND 



Island, occurs on Fergusson Island also. The female 

 has a brick-red breast and throat. I caught two 

 species of brown Pachycephala, i.e. P. dubia and 

 P. fortis. I captured one good specimen of the hawk 

 of which I had previously shot a bad specimen (Baza 

 reinwardti), also some Paradisea decora, but mostly 

 young males or females. 



My next voyage was to St. Aignan in the Louisiades 

 in August 1897. We camped there in Bogoya Har- 

 bour, where I got some new birds and a fine new 

 Ornithoptera Troides coelestis Mr. Rothschild called 

 it. It is a magnificent butterfly, very large in size, 

 blue and black in colour. I was very jubilant at 

 this discovery, for it was my first new Ornithoptera. 

 The species is still very rare. It was obtained in 

 very mountainous country, though my camp at the 

 time was near the coast. 



I bred here two specimens of a beautiful large 

 Charagia similar to the one from the Trobriands. 1 

 Among the smaller species of lepidoptera I found 

 many things new to me, and a rather handsome Delias 

 which only occurs on the tops of the hills. Of this 

 I obtained a long series, but unfortunately only one 

 female. Among the birds new to me there were a 

 large cuckoo, three species of flycatcher, one Pachy- 

 cephala, and one pigeon. 



The first specimens of the above-mentioned Orni-
