Genus VI. PTILONORHYNCHUS. 
. 1. Ptilonorhynchus violaceus. 
Ptilonorhynchus violaceus, Sharpe, Monogr. Parad. part vi. (1896). — Meyer, Abhandl. k. zool. Mus. Dresden, vii. 
no. 2, p. 53 (1898). — Rothschild, Thierreich, Lief. 2, Parad. p. 4 (1898). 
A curious hybrid between this species and Sericulus melinus has been described and figured. The 
synonymy is as follows : — 
Sericulus raunsleyi, Diggles, Orn. Austr. pi. (1867). 
Ptilonorhynchus rawnsleyi, Gould, Suppl. B. Austr. pi. 34 (1867). — Elliot, Monogr. Parad. pi. 29 (1873).— Sharpe, 
Cat. B. Brit. Mus. vi. p. 381, note (1881). — Meyer, Abhandl. k. zool. Mus. Dresden, vii. no. 2, p. 53 
(1898).— Rothschild, Thierreich, Lief. 2, Parad. p. 4, note (1898).

1. Amblyornis flavifrons.

reich, Lief. 2, Parad. p. 12 (1898). — Sharpe, Monogr. Parad. part viii. (1898). 
^ 2. Amblyornis inornata.

Amblyornis inornatus, Rothschild, Thierreich, Lief. 2, Parad. p. 12 (1898).— Sharpe, Monogr. Parad. part viii. 
(1898, = ad.). 
3. Amblyornis subalaris. 
Xanthochlamys subalaris, Sharpe, Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, iv. pp. xiv, xv, xviii (1894). 
Amblyornis subalaris, Sharpe, Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, iv. p. xiv (1894). — Id. Monogr. Parad. part iii. (1894). —

In 1894 I proposed for this species the short-lived generic name of Xanthochlamys. Amblyornis inornata 
bad been known for twenty-three years, and none of the males sent by collectors showed a sign of a yellow 
crest ; but no sooner had I separated the southern species than Dr. Meyer received an adult male of 
A. inornata with a fully developed crest, and of course the genus Xanthochlamys was deprived of its only 
claim to distinction (cf. Meyer, Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, iv. p. xvii). Since then I have seen several 
specimens of the male from the Arfak Mountains and from the Owen Stanley Mountains, in South-eastern 
New Guinea, in Mr. Rothschild’s collection. 
According to Dr. Loria the species is abundant in the Moroka district of the Astrolabe Range. The male 
has the bill horn-colour, greyer on the lower mandible, the feet greenish horn-colour or greenish-grey, and 
the iris chestnut or hazel. Young males resemble the old females (cf. Salvad. 1. cl).
