Ail thèse skins from the N. coast belong without doubt to C. r. regius, and not to 

 C. r. coccineifrons, with which I hâve compared them. This is remarkable, as Rothschild and 

 Hartert (Nov. Zool. X. p. jS) mention C. r. coccineifrons from Takar and the avifauna of 

 the X. coast resembles that of Jobi in so many other instances.

2 (çf ad.) Cyclop Mts, April i4th and i5th, skin (n°. 130) and one in spirits (n°. 122). 



The crown of both is dull brown as in D. m. inagnifica, while the secondaries of the 

 skin are golden orange, as in D. ni. hunsteini; those of the bird in spirits are red, but this is 

 doubtlessly the effect of the alcohol. Doubtless both birds thus belong to D. inagnifica chry- 

 soptera Elliot.

This yellow bird of paradise is very common in the neighbourhood of Humboldt Bay. 

 Maies in full dress are however only met with in the inland ; near the coast ail maies in full 

 plumage are shot away. They seem to prefer the dry wood and are often seen in the low 

 shrubs that grow under the big forest trees. Once I saw a small flock feeding on the ground ; 

 the same has been observed by Goodfellow (Bull. B. O. C. 1907, p. 101).
