Iris hazel ; bill blackisli-brown, or very dark asb-colonr ; 

 feet bluish-slate or dark ash-colour. 



The specimens listed above agree well with the description 

 of this species, the type of which from Sorong is in the 

 Leyden Museum. The species is new to the British Museum, 

 and is not represented in the Tring Museum. Dr. Hartert 

 has kindly sent me the allied P. finscld Roths. & Hartert for 

 comparison, but the latter, from North-east New Guinea, is 

 altogether more rufous, especially on the underparts. 



Ptilotis simplex Reichenow, J. f. 0. 1915, p. 126 [Sepik 

 District], is no doubt synonymous with ti at species. 



" The Brown Honey-eater frequented the lower branches 

 and undergrowth, and did not appear to be so acti^^e as 

 P. n. mimikce. 1 was unable to identify its call.'"' — C. II. B. G.
