All the specimens of this magnificent Bird-of-Paradise 

 were procured by Chunggat and Jaggat, the Dyak col- 

 lectors, and unfortunately no record of the colours of the 

 soft parts has been kept. The male of this species has been 

 well figured by Keulemans in the plate referred to above. 

 Our freshly killed male specimen differs from the native-made 

 skins, from which the species was described, in the points 

 mentioned by Messrs. Rothschild and Hartert. I entirely 

 agree with them that the differences in the metallic colouring 

 are no doubt caused by the mode of preparation.
