DR. L. F. DE BEAUFORT, BIRDS FROW DUTCH NEW GUINEA. 41 I 



The female bird is in change and differs from the adult birds in the same way as 

 the young of P. I. albifacies (cf. Zeitschr. f. d. ges. Ornith. III p. 17). The head is rufous above, 

 while most feathers of the lores are vvhite at the tip; those round the eye are already quite 

 white. The feathers on the crown are partially tipped with black. Upperside as in the adult, 

 but varied with rufous feathers, especially on the nape. Earcoverts rufous, blackish beneath. 

 Undersurface as in the adult, but spotted with rufous feathers everywhere. Wings as in the 

 adult, but the greater coverts bordered with rufous. Tail as in the adult. Bill pale horncolour 

 while in the adult it is black, except the base of the lower mandible. Iris brown, legs orange 

 yellow in the adult bird. This subspecies was hitherto only known from Sattelberg in 

 German N. Guinea. We found the birds hopping silently about in the branches of the under- 

 growth in the forest that covers the Cyclop Mountains.
