BY JOHN REINHOLD FORSTER, LL. D. 47 . 



The other Paradije-birds of Valentyn are not yet fufEciently 

 afcertained. It is greatly therefore to be wifhed, that a naturalifi: 

 fhould undertake a journey into New Guinea, and the Papua iflcs, 

 fince thefe regions feem full of new and unexplored natural 

 wonders. In the meantime we hope that thefe obfervations con- 

 cerning the Birds of Paradife will not be unacceptable to thofe 

 who are defirous of an accurate knowledge of the works of 

 Nature.
