 Habitat in insula ' Waigiu ' dicta. 



Obs. " This very interesting addition to the Papuan fauna 

 is another instance of the more eastern extent of Indo- 

 Malayan forms, to which I have recently referred on several 

 occasions, when introducing new forms of Cryptolopha 

 from Buru, Obi Major, and Batjau, new Phyller •gates from 

 Flores, Buru, and Batjan, and others. 



" Cryptolopha waigiuensis is above yellowish olive-green, 

 slightly more yellowish green in some specimens, more 

 olivaceous in others. The lores are whitish, the ear-coverts 

 like the upper surface, but much paler. Remiges deep brown, 

 outwardly edged with the colour of the upperside, inwardly 

 with whitish. Tail fuscous-brown, edged with olive. Under 

 surface whitish, strongly washed with sulphur-yellow, the 

 throat more whitish, the sides of the breast washed with 

 olivaceous. The bill appears to be brown, the under 

 mandible pale, the feet brownish grey, but the colours of 

 these parts are not described by the collector. The sexes 

 do not differ perceptibly. 



" Five specimens were collected by Mr. John Waterstradt 

 on the island of Waigiu, in December 1902.
