Guinea, the higher mountains of the interior offer a field of 
brilliant promise, where, as in the case of this Otidiphaps 
and in other species of birds which will occur to the recollec- 
tion of those who have studied Papuan ornithology, a 
whole series of forms differing from but allied to the wonder- 
ful species of the Arfak mountains may yet be discovered. 
Mr. Goldie sends no notes on the habits of Otidiphaps 
regalis, which is to be regretted ; he merely states that he 
obtained it in 1879 in the Owen Stanley range, thirty miles 
inland from Port Moresby.

An account is here given of collections (1) from the Island 
of Thomé, made by Sr. Custodio de Borja, in which 8 species 
of birds are enumerated; (2) from Angola, between Bihé and 
Cassange, made by Srs. Capello and Ivens, which contained 
examples of 27 species. In the latter a new Bush-Shrike, 
Fiscus capelli, is described next to F. collaris.

Prof. Barboza’s eighteenth contribution to this subject 
enumerates 17 birds, of which examples have recently been 
transmitted by the indefatigable collector Anchieta from the 
vicinity of Novo Redondo. All are known species, except a 
Drymeca, which is not finally determined.
