Iris red ; bill dark brown or black ; feet dull red ; bare space 

 round eye red. Length 36*8-38'0 ceutims., wing 18"5-19'2. 



The prolonged upper tail-coverts of one of the Waigiou birds are 

 very dark, almost greenish black. The Andai bird is characterized 

 by the brilliant cupreous-red iridescence of the back.

 Carpophaga chalconota, Salvad. op. cit. vol. iii. p. 100. 



a-d. Arfak. 



Four birds, sex unknown, brought down by the Arfak hunters. 

 Wing 19-5-2 1-0 centims. 



C. rufiventris much resembles this species, but may be distinguished 

 by its vinaceous head, by the bright rufous of the upper breast, 

 and by the purple-brown (not dark blue) tail. The beak also is 

 smaller in the former.
