and on the coast of New Guinea opposite to Salawatty, in the same locality where Rosenberg obtained his 
Casuarius Kaupi. The species proved to he C. uniappendiculatus, Blyth, the same as that of the fine specimen 
alive in the Amsterdam Gardens, the single caruncle not being developed in the younger bird ; it appeared, 
therefore, that C. Kaupi of Rosenberg must he regarded as identical with C. uniappendiculatus , Blyth. 
In Mr. Blyth’s remarks on the Babu Rajendra Mullick’s specimen, which unfortunately died when probably 
about half-grown, he says : — “ It entirely resembles Casuarius galeatus of the same age in general structure ; 
but in the colouring of the plumage there is a considerably less admixture of black than is seen in an ordi- 
nary Cassowary of the same size, the only marked distinction consisting in the very different arrangement 
and predominating yellow of the bright colours of the neck, and in the single small yellow caruncle in front 
of the neck, in place of the two larger and bright-red caruncles of the common species. Again, the nude 
skin of the lower part of the neck is smooth or comparatively tense, and not turnous or wrinkled as in the 
other. I remark, also, in the stuffed specimen, along the medial third of the back, a nude line, about three- 
eighths of an inch broad, parting the feathers, which flow on each side. Unfortunately the body was 
thrown away, not even the sex having been ascertained ; but the sexes in this genus hardly differ in 
appearance.” 
At the meeting of the Zoological Society of London, held on the 23rd of January, 1866, Mr. Sclater ex- 
hibited an egg which had been laid by the female bird in the Zoological Gardens of Amsterdam, and 
remarked that it “ was of the usual form and colour of the eggs of the genus Casuarius , being of a pale 
green, thickly covered with raised spots of dark green, and measuring 5 - 4 by 3 - 6 inches.” 
One Plate represents the entire bird, the figure being necessarily greatly reduced ; the other, two heads 
and necks, the front one of which is the size of life, the other somewhat smaller.
