There are two specimens of this apparently new Megaporlc in tit© colteo- 

 tion. One from LutiiTj Timor-laiit, obtained Soptemlit r 2'2Qd, is marked 

 " Irides dark brown ; bill pale yellow; legs in front hlack^ bnt front of 

 knees refl, back of legs red; feet black." The other, from Kirimun, is 

 labelled "IriB brown; bill pale yellow; It^ and feet red." Bnt the 

 colouta of these last-nanaed parts, so far as can be told from the dry skins, 

 do not material iy dififer from those of the first specimen; and the two 

 birds agroo in phimage, except that the specimen from the islet of Kirimiin 

 is rather more retidish on the face,

Dr. Sc later concludes his paper with the following remarks, which I 

 reproduce, as the recent discoTeries of Mr, Eiedel's collectors have not 

 materially modified the conclusions arrived at by the writer in 1884 :
