Messrs. Rothschild and Hartert recognize three subspecies 

 of Black Cockatoos, viz. : — 



1. "A very large form." Mainland of New Guinea. 



2. " An intermediate and blacker race." Cape York. 



3. " A smaller one.'" Western Papuan Islands, 

 These conclusions are borne out by the fairly large series 



now in the British Museum, as the following wing-measure- 

 itlents will show : —
