The above measurements of the tarsus are probably more correct 



than that given of the tarsus in my ' Catalogue,' the difficulty of 



measuring the type correctly being very great, owing to the spe- 



(dmen having been mounted.

c, Eucalyptus range, mainland of S.E. Papua, east of Yule 

 Island, Eeb. 1876. 



I can perceive no differences in the plumage of the pair above 

 mentioned. They measure as follows :— 



a, <S • Total length 10 in., culmen 1"1, wing 4-45, tail 4"35, 

 tarsus 06. 



h, 2 • Total length 9'8 in., culmen 1, wing 5'2, tail 4"1, tarsus 0'6.

I have no doubt that the female bird referred by me to G. puche-
