In my preliminary report on the B.O.U. Expedition I 

 recorded the specimens listed above as M. altera Roths. & 

 Hartert, a slightly larger race originally described from 

 South-eastern New Guinea. 



The typical locality of M. atra is Arfak, and our specimens 

 from Dorei have a wing-measurement of 184-186 mm. ; 

 to this race must be referred birds from Humboldt Bay, 

 174-177 ; Misol, 180-181 ; Waigiu, 180 ; and the present 

 series from South-west New Guinea, of which the males vary 

 from 181-189 and the females 171-172.
