which have eveu more extended blue apices to the central 

 rectrices^ and the shorter flank-plumes are a sign of youth. 



The adult and young males of Drepanornis albertisi 

 geisleri Meyer have now been procured. The female alone 

 was known up to 1909. 



The young male differs from the female in having fainter 

 bars on the flanks and abdomen, while the adult male differs 

 from D. albertisi albertisi in being darker above and below, 

 and in being more olive and less rufous on the wings. 



Herr Nehrkorn has described an egg as being that of 

 Amblyornis inornatus, and I have described one as that of 

 Cnemophilus macgregori, but both are more than doubtful. 



I now give descriptions of the new species and subspecies 

 published since 1898, and a complete revised list of all the 

 known Birds of Paradise.
