NiSAETtrs MOEPHNOIDES {Gould) ; Sharpe, Cat. B. i. p. 254. 

 No. 198. Choqeri district. " Worrowa." \_A. G.'] New to the 

 avifauna of New Gruinea. The two birds sent are in fine plu- 

 mage, with very dark streaks on the breast, and are apparently 

 fully adult. 



Haliaetus leucogastee (Gm.). — Cuncuma leucogaster, 

 Salvad. Omitologia delta Papuasia e delle Ilolmclie, i. p. 7. Sent 

 by Mr. Charles Hunstein, who shot one on the mainland in China 

 Straits. " Iris dark yellowish brown ; bill black ; cere, eyelids, 

 and feet orange."

 No. 171. Morocco district. " Boraggi." The differeuca between 

 some of the specimens now sent and Baza suhcristata of Queens- 

 land consists principally in the larger size of the latter. In 

 plumage one specimen of B. Beinwardtii seems to be identical 

 with a Queensland skin. Milne Bay {Hunstein). 



Falco seveeus {Horsf.) ; Sharpe, Gat. B. Brit. Mus. i. p. 397. 

 — Hypotriorchis severus, Salvad. t. c. i. p. 33. No. 201. Groldie's 

 second collection. This is the first occurrence of the species in 

 New Guinea; and I am glad to be able to record the fact, 

 because I erroneously entered it some years ago as an inhabitant 

 of New Guinea, not considering the fact that Salawati was an 

 island of itself, and not an integral part of the great Papuan 

 island. 



Haeptopsis soym guinea, Salvad. ; id. t. c. i. p. 40. No. 176. 

 Choqeri district. " Duna." [_A. G^ Mr. Goldiehas sent two eggs 

 said to be of this species, which are pure white. They came in the 

 second collection, which had no list accompanying it ; but the 

 numbers on the eggs correspond with those attached to the birds. 

 At the same time, the eggs look to me like those of a Hornbill, 

 and not of a bird of prey. One specimen was sent by Mr. Hun- 

 stein, shot in a " small island off East Cape."
