HON. W. ROTHSCHILD ON THE GENUS CASUARIUS. 145 
Nothing is known of this form except one living individual in the Zoological Garden 
of Berlin. My original preliminary description of it (/. ¢.) is as follows :— 
“This bird bears the same relationship to C. picticollis that C. papuanus edwardsi 
does to C. paywanus. ‘Lhe throat and hind-neck are deep indigo-blue. Occiput pale 
greenish blue. A small round black wattle on the fore-neck. Lower sides of neck 
dark crimson. Casque and plumage similar to those of C. picticollis.” 
This form is named in honour of Dr. Heck, Director of the Zoological Garden of 
Berlin, who kindly permitted Mr. Keulemans to make a drawing of the bird.
