single specimen for comparison it is not possible to say 

 whether these characters are constant. 



Hab. Sattelberg, German New Guinea, January 190G. 

 Type Si No. 12096 in the Tring Museum: collected by 

 Mr. Wahnes. 



Obs. In the length of the blue feathers on the crown, and 

 in all other essential characters, the new form agrees with 

 C. s. stellce and not with C. papuensis from the Arfak 

 Peninsula. 



The discovery of this Parrot is of great interest, as ex- 

 tending the range of the genus Charmosyna ; for this is 

 evidently the northern representative of C. s. stellce. 



The Hon. Walter Rothschild and Dr. E. Hartert 

 described a uew species of Pigeon as follows : — 



Henicophaps foersteri^ sp. n. 



Differs from H. albifrons, G. R. Gray, in having the under 

 surface clay-buff; the under tail-coverts rufous-buff with 

 brown tips ; the hind-neck and crown cinnamon-chestnut, 

 lighter on the forehead ; and the bill a little shorter and 

 less robust. 



Hab. Massawa, New Britain, October 1905. Type 

 No. 10095 in the Tring Museum : obtained by Mr. Wahnes. 



The species is named in honour of Professor Foerster, 

 through whose kindness the specimen was received, 



Mr. C. E. Hellmayr exhibited and characterized a new 

 subspecies of Bunting from the Volcano of Chiriqui : — 



-- Emberizoides macrourus hypochondriacus, subsp. n. 



Adult. Differs from E. m. macrourus (Gmel.), of Cayenne 

 &c., in its smaller size and especially in its much shorter tail; 

 in the coarser and blacker centres to the feathers of the 

 upperparts ; and in having the sides of the breast and abdo- 

 men heavily streaked with blackish-brown, these parts being 

 uniform pale brown in the typical form. Wing 64-67 ; 

 tail 78-86 ; bill 13-14 mm.
