478 MR. A. R. WALLACE ON NEW BIRDS [June 13, 
PACHYCEPHALA BRUNNEA. 
Supra rufo-brunnea, subtus brunneo-alba ; gula alba, capite fusco- 
cinerea, remigibus fuscis brunneo marginatis, tectricibus alarum 
inferioribus albis. 
Above earthy brown ; crown slaty ash-colour ; space before the eye 
darker; throat white; rest of body beneath dirty brownish white ; 
under wing-coverts and inner margins of secondaries and tertiaries 
pure white; quills dusky, brown-margined ; bill black ; feet pale 
brown. 
Total length 63 inches; wing 3;4,; bill, from gape, 44. 
Hab. Banda Islands and Salwatty. 
Remark.—The Banda specimen is rather lighter-coloured on the 
sides of the head, and the brown of the back is a little brighter, but 
in other respects it exactly agrees with that from Salwatty. 
DicrRuRUS LEUCOPS. 
Trides alba ; D. pectorali paulo major. 
Exactly like D. pectoralis, Wall., in coloration, except the irides, 
which are milk-white. As every other species of the genus I have 
met with has eyes of a crimson-red colour, and as I found this species 
abundantly both at Macassar in the south and at Menado in the 
north of Celebes, and in every individual having the eyes milky white, 
I think it right to separate it under a distinct name. It is, however, 
rather larger in all its dimensions than the allied form. 
Total length 127 inches ; wing 63; tail 53; bill, from gape, ,},. 
Hab. Celebes. 
PTILOTIS ROSTRATA. 
Ptilotis megarhynchus, G. R. Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1859, p. 155. 
Fusco-rufa, subtus cinereo-olivacea ; gula pallidiore, ventre rufes- 
cente, tectricibus alarum inferioribus marginibusque rectricum 
pallide rufis ; mandibule superioris apice forte serrato. 
Dark brown; crown dusky ; beneath ashy olive ; belly rufescent ; 
under wing-coverts and inner margins of the quills light rufous ; bill 
black, long, and strongly serrated at the end of the upper mandible ; 
iris salmon-red ; feet pale lead-colour. 
Total length 93 inches ; wing 3?; bill, from gape, 13. 
Hab. New Guinea, Waigiou, and Mysol. 
Remark.—This differs from P. megarhynchus, G. R. Gray, from 
Aru, in the want of the yellow ring round the eye and the markings 
of the under surface, as well as in the remarkably serrated bill. 
NECTARINIA FLAVO-STRIATA. (Pl. XXIX. fig. 2.) 
Fronte et vertice ceruleo-metallicis; occipite, collo et dorso rubris, 
uropygio flavo, tectricibus superioribus et rectricibus mediis 
ceruleo-metallicis, rectricibus lateralibus nigris ceruleo mar- 
ginatis; alis fuscis, remigum et tectricum marginibus luride 
rubris, gula (utrinque ceruleo vittata) et pectore coccineis flavo
