At Manokwarri, foriaerly called Doreh, in North New 

 Guinea, Mr. Goodfellow was shown the spot where Dr. A. R. 

 Wallace's house stood when the latter collected over fifty 

 years ago, and he was told that the ruins of it still remained 

 up to a few years ago. 



Mr. Ogilvie-Grant said that he had had the pleasure of 

 inspecting the wonderful collection of living Paradise-Birds 

 and Parrots brought home by Mr. Walter Goodfellow. 

 Among the latter there appeared to be two undescribed 

 species, which he proposed to name as follows : — 



Trichoglossus brooki, sp. n. 



Adult. Most nearly allied to T. nigrogularis, G. R. Gray, 

 but larger and with the belly and flanks entirely black. 



Hab. Pulo Swangi (Spirit Island), off the south coast of 

 Terangan, Aru Islands. 



Obs. Two living examples brought by Mr. Walter Good- 

 fellow are now in the possession ot Mr. C. J. Brook, of 

 Hoddom Castle, Dumfries, N.li., after whom this species 

 has been named. 



Eos GOODFELLOWI, Sp. n. 



Adult. Nearest to /i". rubra (Gmel.), but with the ear- 

 coverts lavender-blue and the back and thighs purplish-blue. 

 One example, perhaps a younger bird, has the feathers of 

 the middle of the breast and belly deeply edged with blue; 

 in the other these parts are uniform red, 



Hab. Obi Major, Central Moluccas. 



Obs. Two living examples brought by Mr. Goodfellow are 

 now in the possession of Mrs. Johnstone, of Burrswood, 

 Groombridge, Sussex. This species is very distinct from 

 jEos riciniatus obiensis, Rothsch., which also occurs on 

 Obi Major. 



Mr. F. E. Blaauw made some remarks on the breeding of
