Tne ZooLocist—NovEMBER, 1875. 4687 
specimens of it in the Leyden Museum, which were undoubtedly 
obtained in the Aroe Islands. 
5. The One-wattled Cassowary (C. uniappendiculatus).— The 
single small wattle which ornaments the middle of the neck at 
once distinguishes this fine species, of which we have now in the 
Gardens a young specimen brought by H.M.S. ‘ Basilisk’ from the 
coast on the north of New Guinea, opposite Salawatty. There is 
a good figure of this cassowary in the Supplement to Gould’s 
‘ Birds of Australia.’ 
6. The Papuan Cassowary (C. papuana).—This name has been 
given to two specimens in the Leyden Museum, obtained near 
Dorey, in New Guinea, by Rosenberg. Prof. Schlegel at first 
identified them with the mooruk, but afterwards admitted their 
distinctness. My belief is that they are probably the same as the 
next species (C. Westermanni), although the colours of the neck, 
as restored in the stuffed specimens, do not quite agree. 
.7. Westerman’s Cassowary (C. Westermanni).— This species 
1 established on a bird still living in the Zoological Gardens, which 
we received from Mr. Westerman in 1871. At first I referred this 
bird to C. Kaupi, of Rosenberg, until that naturalist showed that 
the pretended species which he had so named was nothing more 
than the young of C. uniappendiculatus. I then changed our 
bird’s name to C. Westermanni. I have recently seen two other 
living specimens of this bird in the Zoological Gardens at Rotter- 
dam. It has been suggested that its true home is the island of 
Jobie, in the Bay of Geelvink, where Dr. Meyer ascertained the 
existence of a cassowary, but was not able to procure specimens. 
8. The Painted-necked Cassowary (C. picticollis)—This species 
was likewise established by me on a specimen now living in the 
Zoological Gardens, which was obtained by the officers of H.M.S. 
‘Basilisk’ at Discovery Bay, on the east coast of New Guinea. It 
greatly resembles the mooruk, but differs in its brilliantly-coloured 
neck, of which I have given a drawing in the ‘ Proceedings of the 
Zoological Society’ for the present year (1875), part 1. 
9. The Mooruk, or Bennett's Cassowary (C. Bennetti).—In 1857 
Mr. Gould described this cassowary from a drawing sent to him by 
Dr. George Bennett, of Sydney, and soon afterwards a living pair 
were sent to us by our excellent friend, after whom the species had 
been named. These birds bred in the Gardens in 1864, but we 
have now unfortunately lost them. Bennett's cassowary is an
