sororcula of the same autlior as the young male of this sub- 

 species. The young male has also been described by Dr. van 

 Oort (vide supra) as a new subspecies, Pcecilodryas caniceps 

 pectoralis. 



Among the fine series procured by Mr. Walter Goodfellow 

 in the Owen Stanley Range there is a young male still 

 partially in first plumage. It resembles the female in 

 general appearance, but some of the feathers on the crown 

 and most of those on the occipital and superciliary regions 

 are chestnut. 



A still 3'ounger bird (sex not indicated) from South-east 

 New Guinea resembles the above, but the throat and fore- 

 neck are also mixed with chestnut ; likewise the wing- 

 coverts and secondaries. 



The youngest stages, with the plumage chestnut, have been 

 described by Messrs. Rothschild and Hartert (N. Z. x. 

 p. 104).
