54 TRICHOGLOSSTJS ARFAKI. 



Reedling (^CalamopMlus Uarmicus), with a tail like that of a Minivet (^Peri- 

 crocotus)^ and exhibiting a silvery tear-mark running down a cheek of smutty 

 blue, and we have some of the peculiarities of this curious form." 



The beauty of the species in a great measure consists in the markings 

 under the wrings, which Mr. Keulemans has well represented. Having sent 

 the bird to Mr. Gould, he has now given the back of it ; so that the two 

 Plates, in conjunction, make the portrait very complete. He has also figured 

 the Dresden adult male. The female has yet to be discovered.
