Dr. Latham enumerates twenty species and varieties 

 of the Birds of Paradise, lamenting the imperfection 

 of their descriptions, from the little knowledge to be 

 obtained concerning them. He adds a hope that 

 future naturalists or travellers visiting New Guinea, 

 may be capable of discriminating the subjects found 

 there, and thus supplying the present desiderata in 

 this department of ornithology. He has, besides those 

 we have mentioned — 



Doubtful Paradise Bird. 

 Hackled Paradise Bird. 

 Emerald-breasted Paradise Bird. 

 Frosted Paradise Bird. 

 Crisped Paradise Bird. 

 Twelve-wired Paradise Bird.
