110 MR. P, L. SCLATER ON BIRDS FROM [ Feb. 20, 
Ptilonopus rivolii, Gray, List of Col. in B. M. p. 6. 
A pair of this bird, the male of which agrees in every respect with 
the figures and descriptions above quoted. We have thus a better 
indication of the true patria of this fine Fruit-pigeon than has yet 
been obtained. 
Pt. strophium, Gould, from the Louisiade archipelago, is, I believe, 
a different species, not having the purple patch in the middle of the 
belly. 
The female of the present bird is of a nearly uniform green, with 
the lower belly and crissum yellow. 
52. CEDIRHINUS INSOLITUS. 
Ptilopus insolitus, Schlegel, Ned. Tijdschr. i. p. 61. pl. iii. fig. 3.

Cdirhinus globifer, Cab. et Reich. Journ. f. Orn. 1876, p. 326. 
One example of this remarkable Pigeon, from Duke-of-York 
Island, obtained in October 1875. Schlegel originally described 
his specimen, with which mine appears to agree in all essential par- 
ticulars, as from ‘‘ New Caledonia,’ but subsequently came to the 
strange conclusion that it was only a monstrous variety of Ptilopus 
jobiensis ! 
There can be, to my mind, no doubt of the validity of the species, 
which I agree with Hrn. Cabanis and Reichenow should even con-

stitute the type of a new genus, readily recognizable by the hard 
bony protuberance on its forehead. 
Dr. Huesker obtained the specimen described by the last-named 
author in New Ireland, during the voyage of the ‘ Gazelle.’
