PtILOTIS PRiECIPUA NIGRITERGUM, Subsp, n. 



Adult male and female. Similar to P. p. prcecipua from 

 the mountains of British New Guinea, but somewhat larger 

 and at once distinguished by the coloration of the feathers 

 of the back, which have narrow grey margins instead 

 of wider rufous edges, giving the upper parts a much 

 blacker appearance. The edges of the feathers of the 

 crown are pure ashy-grey, instead of yellowish -grey ; 

 the narrow superciliary lines as well as some streaks on 

 the sides of the neck are white, and the sides of the breast 

 less rufous. 



S , wing 97-100 mm., ? 87-90 mm. Iris green ; bill 

 black ; feet slaty-blue.

Mr. Rothschild and Dr. Hartert pointed out that the 

 Parrot described by them as Cyclopsitta blythi meeki in 

 Nov. Zool. 1911, p. 160 (published September 25th), had 

 already been named Cyclopsittacus godmani by Mr. Ogilvie- 

 Grant, Bull. B. O. C. xxvii. p. 67 (published March 28th). 



Mr. Rothschild and Dr. Hartert also exhibited a series 

 of specimens of the genus Pristoi^hamphus, which evidently 

 belonged to three different races : — 



1 . Prist orhamphus versteri versteri. — Hab. Arfak and the 

 Lower Ambernoh River. 



Adult male. Underside light grey ; sometimes rather more, 

 but usually less than half the second tail-feather white, the 

 white portion measuring 32-38 mm. Tail about 70-83 mm. 

 (4 males examined.)
