One specimen (sex unknown) from Mt. Maori, a little west 

 of Humboldt Bay in Dutch New Guinea (Dumas coll.) . 



MlCROECA VIRTDIFLAVA, n. Sp. 



Upperside yellowish olive-green. Remiges dark brown, 

 with yellowish-green outer edges ; rectrices olive-green, 

 greenish-yellow externally ; loral patch and feathers on 

 eyelids yellow ; in front of the eye some dark feathers. 

 Under surface yellow, the edges of the feathers brighter, so 

 as to produce a very faintly streaked appearance ; ear-coverts 

 olive-yellowish ; sides of breast washed with greenish. Under 

 wing-coverts pale yellow ; quills lined inside with buff. Iris 

 brown ; bill blackish ; feet light (Anthony writes " yellow/' 

 but they are more likely of a flesh-colour). Wing 73-75 

 mm., tail 45-47, culmen from forehead about 12, metatarsus 

 16-17. 



We have one specimen (the type) marked ? , shot at 

 6500 feet on Mt. Cameron by Anthony on August 1, 1896 ; 

 two from the Eafa and Kotoi districts, from unknown col- 

 lectors, and some collected by Emil Weiske on the Aroa 

 River. 



PCECILODRYAS CYANUS SALVADORII, n. Subsp. 



Specimens from Mts. Cameron and Scratchley, from 

 the Kotoi and Eafa districts in British New Guinea, and 

 from the Ambernoh. River in Dutch New Guinea, are so 

 considerably larger than typical P. cyanus from Arfak, that 

 they must be separated. The wing in Arfak specimens 

 is from 80 to 85 mm. long, that of the new subspecies 

 (type, Mt. Cameron, 7000 feet) 86 to 96 mm. ; the smaller 

 individuals evidently being females or immature. Tail of 

 P. c.salvadorii 66-70 mm., culmen about 19, metatarsus 25. 



This form is named in honour of our friend Count 

 Tommaso Salvadori, who (Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, xxxvi. 

 p. 27) already mentioned the much larger size of the speci- 

 mens from Moroka in the Owen Stanley range. 



Messrs. Walter Rothschild and Ernst Hartert also 

 exhibited skins of Amalocichla sclateriana and Amalocichla 

 brevicauda from the mountains of British New Guinea,
