169. Ptilopus geminus, Salvad. 



Ptilopus gemimis, Salvad. op. cit. vol. iii. p. 19. 



a. S • Jobi {Bruijn). 



Salvadori's description, "macula abdominis medii transversa palJide 

 violacea, croceo circi/mdata," is perhaps not strictly accurate. The 

 small violet patch is bounded below and on the sides only by the 

 safiron of the abdomen. 



170. Ptilopus humeralis, Wall. 



Ptilopus humeralis, Salvad. ojp. cit. vol. iii. p. 23. 

 a. c? • Waigiou. 



Bill greenish, yellow at apex ; tarsus dull red. The existence of 

 this species in Waigiou has not been previously recorded. 



171. Ptilopus wallacei, G. R. Gr. 

 Ptilopus wallacei, Salvad. op. cit. vol. iii. p. 30. 



a. (S . Dobbo, Aru. 



b. (S . Locality unknown. 



Iris dirty yellow ; bill greenish yellow ; tarsus red. Length 25".5 

 centims., wing 14"5-1.5"5. 



172. Ptilopus ornatus, Rosenb. 



Ptilopus ornatus, Salvad. op. cit. vol. iii. p. 32. 



a. S • Andai. 



Iris orange ; bill yellow ; feet reddish purple. The under tail- 

 coverts are white rather than pale yellow as in Salvadori's description. 



173. Ptilopus prasixorrhous, G. R. Gr. 

 Ptilopus prasinorrhous, Salvad. op. cit. vol. iii. p. 41. 

 a-d, S ■ Traitors Islands, N. of Jobi {Bruijn). 



e. $ . Traitors Islands {Bruijn). 



These examples do not differ from others obtained from more 

 western localities. 



174. Ptilopus bellus, Sclat. 



Ptilopus bellus, Salvad. op. cit. vol. iii. p. 45. 



a. S • Andai. 



b-d. $ . Arfak {Bruijn). 



Iris yellow ; bill yellow ; feet dark red. In two of the females 

 the secondaries towards the apex are strongly edged on the outer 

 web vrith bright yellow. 



From the occurrence of this bird at Andai it is evident that the 

 species is not, as has previously been supposed, confined to the 

 mountainous districts. 



175. Ptilopus speciosus, Rosenb. 



Ptilopus speciosus, Salvad. op. cit. vol, iii. p. 47. 

 a, b. c? • Traitors Islands {Bruijn).
