THE BLUE BIRD OF PARADISE. 



H. H. Johnston. G.C M.G. 



This wonderful species comes from British New Guinea, where it is found on the Owen Stanley Moumains. It is sometimes called Prince 

 Rudolphs Bird of Paraaise. The female (in the foreground for example) is much more highly coloured than in most Paradise Birds, but 



she lacks the lovely plumage of the adult male.
