Iris red in the male, yellow or orange in the female. Maxilla of 

 male rosy red, mandible black ; bill of female entirely black ; feet 

 dull olive-green. Length of birds from N.W. islands, 387-41-4 

 centims. ; wing 24'8-27'0 centims. The Aru bird is larger (44'4 

 and 2f^-0 centims.) ; but does not otherwise differ. A Waigiou male 

 is partially albino, having the 1st, 4th, and 7th primaries of the left 

 side, and the 1st, 3rd, and 7th of the right snowy white.

All in similar plumage, except that in one the inner primaries 

 are not tipped with red. These birds were obtained by the hunters ; 

 I never saw the species except one specimen in confinement, in the 

 house of Mr. van Bruijn Morris, the Resident of Ternate. It vvas 

 fed almost entirely upon bananas.

/• Salwatti. 



Iris light yellow in the adult, yellowish brown in immature birds. 

 Bill bright orange-red ; tarsus black. The individual marked 

 *• Waigiou?" has the throat and breast red, and the blue of the nape 

 does not join that of the under surface. It thus corresponds to 

 Salvadori's L. erytlirothorax , but is evidently only a variety of L. 

 lory. One of the examples from Andai is immature, and has the 

 greater series of under wing-coverts yellow, with black tips, and the 

 middle and lesser striped red and blue. The two median rectrices 

 are green subterminally, and there are some scarlet feathers intermixed 

 with the blue of the mantle. The only example obtained from 

 Salwatti is characterized by the large extent of blue occupying the 

 throat. 



This species was found to be extremely abundant in Waigiou.
