O.-Grrant as far as the male is concerned, but the females 

 are difficult to separate. 0. frontalis seems to have been re- 

 described recently by Dr. Reichenow as 0. a. intermedins 

 [J. f. O. 1915, p. 124) from the Sepik district. 



A female of 0. grandis, procured by Mr. Walter Good- 

 fellow at Bagutana Camp, Owen Stanley Range, 8000 ft., 

 has recently been presented to the British Museum by 

 Mr. E. J. Brook. This locality is close to Mount Victoria, 

 where the type-specimens of 0. grandis were obtained. 

 These eastern forms, unlike 0. arfaki and 0. a. major, have 

 no red patch on the breast. 



Good figures of 0. arfaki and 0. grandis will be found 

 in Mivart's ' Monograph of the Lories/ pp. 185-187, 

 pis. Ix. & Ixi. (1896). 



The specimens figured are the types J" & $ of the 

 subspecies.

These immature males are certainly referable to this 

 species, and may be easily distinguished from the smaller 

 alpine form described below by their much larger bill and 

 longer wings ; also by having the forehead and crown 

 yellowish-green with yellow shaft-streaks, and the occiput 

 and nape brownish-olive ; the red colour on the under parts 

 less extensive on the lower breast, and the upper breast 

 scarlet instead of orange-red ; the tail-feathers green and 

 scarlet, widely tipped with orange-yellow, instead of green ; 

 the under surface of the tail yellow or orange-yellow, instead 

 of dark olive-green.
