auricular patch lighter blue; wings generally slightly 
shorter.” 
The authors of this species make the remark that “ speci- 
mens from German New Guinea, Milne Bay, and Woodlark 
Island seem to be somewhat intermediate between subplacens 
and pallidior.”

“Similar to C. stelle stelle from the Owen-Stanley 
Mountains, but differs in having a wide orange-yellow band 
across the breast, formed by the distal half or more of the

Adult. “ Differs from its nearest ally, P. p. picta, of 
Guiana, &c., m lacking the red on the bend of the wing, 
and in having the four middle tail-feathers but narrowly 
edged with green on their basal half. The blue frontal band 
is considerably narrower, reaching only as far back as the 
anterior margin of the eye, and the ear-coverts are bright 
brownish-buff (instead of dirty whitish- or greyish-buff). 
“ Bill about 20 mm.; wing 120-1244 ; tail 108-110.

Sir W. Buller, speaking incidentally of P. tabuensis, 
mentions P. atrogularis Peale as a distinct variety, which he 
says 1s found on a small wooded island, called Gau, and 
nowhere else. If that is the case, P. atrogularis Peale would 
be entitled to be recognised as a distinct darker form of 
P. tabuensis.
