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

 Zool. vol. x. pp. 435-480.] 



The authors continue (see above, p. 1G0) their valuable 

 notes on the specimens of Papuan birds in the Tring 

 Museum, to which an addition has recently been made by 

 the receipt of a new collection formed by Messrs. Meek and 

 Eichhorn at Avera on the Aroa River, north of Redscar Bay, 

 British New Guinea. 



The Meliphagidse, an abundant family in New Guinea, are 

 first reviewed, and the following forms are described as new: — 

 Ptilotis aruensis sharpei, P. chrysotis saturatior, P. chrysotis 

 madaraszi, and P. finschi. Eafa maculata is a new genus 

 and species, allied to Ptilotis, but with a shorter and wider 

 bill. Altogether 52 species of Meliphagidse are mentioned. 

 Eleven species of Zosterops from the Papuan Subregion are 

 next enumerated. The Papuan Hirundinidse are only 3. 

 Of the Papuan Muscicapidse 92 species are commented upon, 

 and Micrceca griseiceps occidentalis, Gerygone neglecta 

 dubaryi, and Todopsis cyanocephalus dohertii are charac- 

 terized as new. The article concludes with some additional 

 remarks on certain Dicceidse, Laniidae, and Timeliidse, three 

 families which have been already treated.
