[No. 211. Eyes red; legs with a bluish tinge. Appears to be a

Mr. Gould has expressed some doubts about 2E. arfakianus, 

 Meyer, being really different from this species ; but the greater 

 amount of black on the head and on the neck of JE. arfakianus, the 

 triangular shape of the light spots, with the acute angle turning 

 downwards, on the upper part of the breast, and the smaller dimen- 

 sions, distinguish at once the New-Guinea bird from its Aruan 

 relative.
