One adult specimen. Mt. Victoria, 12000 ft. Coll. Henkelman. 

 — Our specimen agrees tolerably well with the description 

 in the Catalogue of Birds by Seebohm. The feathers of the 

 crown and of the nape have however no conspicuous subtermi- 

 nal ochraceous spots; the basal half of the inner webs of the 

 secondaries and of many of the primaries is not pale buff, 

 but pure white. This form seems to be very nearly allied 

 to Oreocinda heinei Cabanis, of which it is only a sub- 

 species or with which it is very probably identical. I leave 

 open this question, as we have no more specimens of 

 papuensis and no specimens of heinei.
