Like M. nigripectus, this species has the long loose feathers of the 

 back strongly tipped with yellow.

 Graucalus cceruleogriseus, Salvad. op. cit. vol. ii. p. 122. 



a. 2 . Mansinam. 



b. 5 . Dorei. 



c. 2 . Arfak. 



Iris brown ; bill and feet black. Length about 34"0 centims., 

 wing 16'0-16*6. The Mansinam example differs from the others 

 in having the apices of all the flight-feathers edged with white. All 

 the tail-feathers are also strongly tipped with white, the outer pair 

 for half an inch or more. In the Arfak bird there are no white tips 

 to the wing-feathers, and only a faint trace of that colour at the 

 apices of the two external rectrices, and the under wing-coverts are a 

 deeper isabelline. All three examples are darker on the under 

 surface than are those in the British Museum from the Aru Islands. 



77. Graucalus boyeri (G. R. Gr.). 

 Graucalus boyeri, Salvad. op. cit. vol. ii. p. 124. 

 a. 2 . Mysol. 



Iris dark brown ; bill and feet black. Length 24*5 centims., 

 wing 12*8. 



Lores white, nasal plumes huffish ; no black on chin, the first two 

 or three feathers of which are pale buff. The external pair of rec- 

 trices are faintly tipped with grey. 



78. Graucalus magnirostris, Forsten. 

 Graucalus magnirostris, Salvad. op. cit. vol. ii. p. 129. 



a. c? • Waigiou. 



Iris dark brown ; bill and feet black. Wing 17'2 centims., tail 

 16"0, bill 3-2, tarsus 27. This species has hitherto been considered 

 as peculiar to the Halmaheira group, but a comparison of the present 

 example with individuals from that island and Batchian shows that 

 they are identical.
