Iris dark brown ; bill black ; legs very dark olive-brown 

 or dusky black. Total length 266-272 mm. ( = 101- 

 lOf inches.). 



This distinct form resembles B. castanonotus in having the 

 eye-brow stripe bine in both sexes ; in E. pidclier Sharpe, 

 from South-east New Guinea, it is blue in the male and 

 rufous or rufous white in the female. It differs from both 

 in having the back darker chestnut-red, and the underparts 

 purplish-blue. 



An immature bird (No. 1318), probably a female, has a 

 short light chestnut band above the black ear-coverts, and the 

 greater part of the breast and underparts dark blackish-grey 

 with a mixture of purplish-blue feathers. 



" The Dyak Chunggat told me that he only saw this 

 Eupetes near the Wataikwa River camp, where it was 

 apparently scarce. Certainly we never came across it in 

 the other localities visited or passed through." — C.H.B. G.

This pubspecies was only met with on the lower Mimika 

 River. Both sexes may be distinguished fromi. ^arw (Lesson) 

 by the shorter and much less robust bill, measuring 9*5- 

 10 mm. from the anterior wall of the nasal opening to the tip 

 of the culmen. In L. haru the bill measures 10"5-11 mm. 



Adult male. The fully adult male (No. 48 : type of the sub-
