(Mr. Ogilvie-Grant, Ibis, Jubilee Suppl. 2, 1915, p. 144, doubted the dis- 

 tinctness of saturatus from harterti of British New Guinea, but the two forms

I consider this form undoubtedly to be a subspecies of C. montis ; the latter 

 has no yellow on the rump, C. montis floris a narrow, C. m. xanthopygia a wide 

 yellow rump-band. The bill of xanthopygia is rather longer than thicker than 

 that of C. m. montis.
