220 Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grcant on Birds 



a number of birds collected by Cockerell and Thorpe, and all 

 labelled as having come from Cape York. It is notorious 

 that many specimens procured by these collectors and 

 marked Cape York really came from the Aru Islands. In 

 the present instance, however^ there can be no reason to 

 believe that any mistake has been made about the locality. 



In the British Museum there is an adult from the Ovv^en 

 Stmley Mountains, presented by Capt. F. R, Barton, which 

 is intermediate between T. sylvia and T. s. salvador'mna ; it 

 has the crown and wing-coverts purplish almost as in 

 T. sylvia, while the underparts are pale buff as in T. s. salva- 

 doriana. There are similar, more or less intermediate 

 examples from South-east New Guinea in the Tring 

 Museum.
