230 Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant on Birds 



The range o£ Wilhelmina's Lory is given by Count Sal- 

 vadori as " New Guinea from Anclai on the western coast 

 o£ Geelvink Bay to the Astrolabe Mountains in the south- 

 eastern part.'' Its discovery on the Iwaka River probably 

 indicates the extent of its western range in the south.

Adidt male and female. Iris pale yellow ; bill cherry-red ; 

 orbits olive ; feet dull coral-red. 



Immature female. Iris pale yellow; bill much duller than 

 in the adult; feet light brown, 



Tlie specimens numbered 137, 1054, and 1074 are clearly 

 immature birds, and in all three the sex is marked as female. 

 All three have a number of small red feathers in front of the 

 eye which would lead one to suppose that they were young 

 nuiles. In the adult female the feathers in front of the eye 

 are oreen with narrow vellow shaft-streaks, and there is 

 never any trace of red. 



"This pretty little Lory was only seen around Wakatimi. 

 It came in numbers to certain flowering trees, where the 

 specimens were secured. It was a tame bird, and several 

 mio'ht be shot before the flocks took alarm and left the
