colleded in Dutcli New Guinea. 207 



The bird from Bougainville I have distinguished as 



Alcyone richardsi bougainvillei. 



Alcyone richardsi bougainviUei, Ogilvie-Grant, Bull. B. 0. C. 

 xxxv.'p. 13 (1914). 



It differs from A. richardsi in having the pectoral band 

 more or less interrupted in the middle and all the white 

 feathers on the upper breast edged with purplish-blue, giving 

 the plumage of these parts a scaled appearance. As in 

 A. r. aolce, the under tail-coverts are white tipped with blue. 

 The wing measures 55 mm., the tail 23 mm. 



The young bird has the cheeks and sides of the breast 

 black instead of blue, also the edges of the feathers of the 

 upper breast.
