This species was previously represented in tLe British 

 Museum by two males procured at Bagutana Camp, Owen 

 Stanley Mountains, 8000 £t., by Mr. W. G-oodfellow. The 

 male example from the Utakwa River agrees in almost every 

 respect with the description of the type-specimen, also with a 

 male from Hatam, North-west New Guinea, but the feathers 

 of the crown, which are freshly moulted, some being still 

 in quill, are uniform grey, and do not show blackish bases 

 as mentioned by Sharpe in his description of the type- 

 specimen. 



The wing measures 53 mm. (= 2'2 inches) ; tail 33 

 (= 1*3 inches). 



Pseudogerygone sp. inc. 



a. ? imm. Mouth of the Mimika River, 20th March^ 

 1911. [No. 1212, C.H.B.G.] 



This bird, which is partially in young plumage, appears to 

 be allied to P. Icevigaster, having very distinct subterminal 

 white spots on the inner webs of the outer tail-feathersi 

 The second primary quill falls between the 8th and 9th, 

 and possibly the bird is a species of Gerygone and not a 

 Pseudogerygone. The differences between the two genera 

 appear to be rather difficult to define, and some modern 

 authors unite all the species under Gerygone.
