This is a large and not very typical Pachycephala, having the bill 

 much elevated and compressed. Its coloration is definite, and does 

 not resemble that of any species known to me. The fourth primary 

 is rather longer than the third, and longest. The tail is slightly 

 rounded. The divisions of the acrotarsial scutes are nearly obsolete. 



6. Pachycephala soror, sp. n. 



Olivacea, alis caudaque obscure fuscis olivaceo extus limbatis : 

 capite nigro : subtus flava, gutture albo, torque pectorali nigro : 

 rostro et pedibus nigris; iride nigra: long, tota 6-5, alee 3'7, 

 cauda 2'7, rostri a rictu 085, tarsi 085. 

 Hab. Atam, apud montes Papuanos Arfak. 



This is a typical Pachycephala, closely allied to P. melanura 

 (Gould, B. Austr. vol. ii. pi. 60), but with the tail brown, bordered 

 with olive-green. The black head extends over the nape and joins 

 the olive-green of the back without any traces of intervening colour. 



7 . Campephaga aurulenta, sp. n. (Plate LIV.) 



Aureo flava, interscapulio viridescente : pileo cinereo, superciliis 

 albis utrinque marginuto : loris et capitis lateribus cum gutture 

 toto alis et cauda splendenti-nigris, alarum tectricibus majoribus
