 a. $. Arfak (BrMi/n). 



Salvadori considers it possible that this species may be identical 

 with ^. wallacei. Compared, however, with a female of the latter 

 species, the present example is seen to differ by the much greater 

 delicacy of the feet, tarsus, and beak. The maxilla has a finer and 

 sharper hook, and the nostrils are smaller, and considerably more 

 covered by the frontal plumes than is the case in M. wallacei. The 

 tarsus also is longer, and the toe shorter than in the latter.

 distinct line of rufous extends down the centre of the under surface 

 from the chin to the abdomen.

 the white feathers of this region are marked with red.
