 Mr. BroaclLcut has sent a pair of male birds, winch I refer to 



this species. The one retained for the Museum collection mea- 

 sures as follows — total length ll'S inches, culmen 2'1, wing7'55, 

 tail 4, tarsus 1'7. It will be seen that these dimensions differ a 

 little from those given by me in the ' Catalogue of Birds ;' and the 

 specific differences of the onales of P. Alierti and P. magnifica be- 

 come somewhat modified when the bird from Southern New Gruinea 

 is considered. As, however, the females of the two species are 

 quite difi'erent, it will be interesting to examine this sex of the 

 present bird from its new locality. Mr. Eamsay, who has the latter 

 birds in his hands, declares them to be P. magnifica.
