Iris red or yellow ; bill and feet bright red. Length 1 7*7-1 8*5 

 centims. ; wing 8'6-9"0 centims. 



The Arfak bird has no yellow on the first three primaries, in the 

 others the first two only are without the yellow patch ; the head is 

 more distinctly yellow. The species has, I believe, not been pre- 

 viously obtained from this district.

The thighs are slightly streaked with yellow in all. The young 

 bird has the plumage of the adult, except that the breast is greenish 

 and unstriped with yellow. It is also peculiar in having the inner 

 webs of the flight feathers (beginning with the third) yellow towards 

 the base. This seems to be a not uncommon characteristic of im- 

 maturity in other allied genera.

In all the last four examples, the inner webs of some of the 

 primaries at the base are yellow. The individual I has the under 

 surface barred, and the tail short. 



The long tail-feathers of this species appear to be naturally wavy 

 from their first appearance.
