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



" The Cuckoo-Falcon was not a common species. It in- 

 habits the jungle, and may usually be seen sitting solitary 

 on some great tree, but at no great height from the ground. 

 It apparently feeds largely on insects of all kinds." — 

 C. H. B. G.

leracidea berigora novce-guineai Meyer ; van Oort, Notes, 

 xxxii. p. 79 (1910). 



A specimen is recorded from Merauke and referred with 

 some doubt to H. b. novceguinece, as it appears to differ from 

 the type-specimen from German New Guinea in lacking the 

 bands and spots on the tail, and in having a longer tarsus, as 

 in typical H. berigora from Australia.
