Obs. The sexes are alike in plumage; younger birds have 

 a stronger cinnamon-rufous wash on the underside, and pale 

 rufous edges to the inner quills. 



Mr. Grauer sent five specimens, which were all obtained 

 in December 1907, and stated that he always found these 

 birds frequenting high trees. 



This new species has no very near ally. Structurally it 

 belongs to the genus Lioptilus, or Parophasma, if the latter 

 is kept separate, though the rictal bristles are somewhat 

 stronger in the latter. 



Mr. Rothschild further exhibited an adult male, female, 

 and young male of 



Drepanornis albertisi geisleri, a. B. Meyer, 



of which heretofore only the female was known. He 

 stated that the female and young male differed from those of 

 D. a. albertisi (Sclat.), and D. a. cervinicauda, Sclat., in 

 having the underside more narrowly and closely barred. 

 The young male of D. a. geisleri could be distinguished from 

 the female by having the abdomen and flanks more faintly 

 barred. The adult male only differed from that of D. a. 

 albertisi in being somewhat darker above and below, and in 

 being more olive and less rufous on the wings. The adult 

 male and female were from the Rawlinson Mountains, 

 and the young male from the Sattelberg, in Gez'man New 

 Guinea. 



Dr. Ernst Hartert exhibited and described examples of 

 the following new birds from Africa, India, and South 

 America : — 



Diaphorophyia graueri, sp. n. 



Adult male. Upper surface greyish bottle-green ; quills 

 greyish-black, edged outwardly with pale dull green ;
