Micfoecd pdpUand Meyef dde^ not seem td be referable to 

 that genus, for it dlflfers in many \^ays from the typical 

 species Mi dsdmilis, which, though its small tarsi and feet 

 are much the same, has the first primary very short arid the 

 second very lorig, dbout four times as long as the first quill. 

 Mi papuana is equally oUt of place in the genuB PcPxiladryas^ 

 where it has genefall}^ been placed; The type of that genus, 

 Pi cervini^entris, has large stfong feet arid tal'si, and the 

 relative proportions of the *tings and tail are vefy different^ 

 the \tings being very little longer than the tail. In 

 Ms papuana the ^ings are proportionately very mrich loflger

 be included in the genus Tregellasia, together with various 

 allied yellow forms*
