. 2. Manucodia orientalis. 
Add : — 
Manucodia jobiensis (nec Salvad.), Madarasz, Term. Fiiz. xx. p. 27 (1897). 
Manucodia orientalis, Meyer, Abhandl. k. zool. Mus. Dresden, vii. no. 2, p. 52 (1898).— Sharpe, Monogr. Parad. 
part viii. (1898, pt.). 
Manucodia chalybata, Rothschild, Novit. Zool. v. p. 84 (1898). — Id. Thierreich, Lief. 2, Parad. p. 45 (1898, pt.). 
The Hon. Walter Rothschild writes concerning this supposed eastern race of M. chalybeata : — “While 
admitting that some of the eastern specimens are of a more purplish-blue colour, I have others from 
Kapaur which are more blue than eastern examples, while some eastern specimens are greener than, or 
quite as green as, western birds. As to the alleged differences in size and shape of the beak, they are 
partly sexual and partly individual. I am therefore obliged to sink M. orientalis as a synonym of 
M. chalybata.” 
... 3. Manucodia jobiensis. 
Add : — 
Manucodia jobiensis, Meyer, Abhandl. k. zool. Mus. Dresden, vii. no. 2, p. 52 (1898). — Rothschild, Novit. Zool. 
v. p. 84 (1898). — Sharpe, Monogr. Parad. part viii. (1898). 
Manucodia jobiensis (typical), Rothschild, Thierreich, Lief. 2, Parad. p. 45 (1898). 
Dr. von Madarasz has recorded this species from North-eastern New Guinea, but Dr. Meyer (/. c.j points 
out that this must be probably an error. The bird was, no doubt, M. rubiensis. 
. . , 4. Manucodia rubiensis. 
Add : — 
Manucodia rubiensis, Meyer, Abhandl. k. zool. Mus. Dresden, vii. no. 2, p. 52 (1898).— Rothschild, Novit. 
Zool. v. p. 84 (1898). — Sharpe, Monogr. Parad. part viii. (1898). 
Manucodia jobiensis rubiensis, Rothschild, Hhierreich, Lief. 2, Parad. p. 45 (1898). 
The Hon. Walter Rothschild has received specimens of this Manucode from Mr. Doherty, who procured 
them at Takar, in Northern New Guinea (long. 136°), not far from Kafu. Mr. Rothschild considers the 
species to be scarcely different from M. jobiensis, and only to be distinguished by the “slightly greenish gloss 
all over, and hy having shorter w’ings ” (Novit. Zool. v. p. 85). 
Add : — 
5. Manucodia atra. 
Manucodia atra, Meyer, Abhandl. k. zool. Mus. Dresden, vii. no. 2, p. 52 (1898). — Rothschild, Novit. Zool. v. 
p. 84 (1898). — Id. Thierreich, Lief. 2, Parad. p. 44 (1898).— Sharpe, Monogr. Parad. part viii. (1898). 
Genus XXVI. EUCORAX. 
. , , 1. Eucorax comrii. 
Add : — 
Eucorax comrii, Sharpe, Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, iv. pp. xiv, xv (1894). — Meyer, Abhandl. k. zool. Mus. Dresden, 
vii. no. 2, p. 52 (1898). 
Manucodia comrii, Sharpe, Monogr. Parad. part iii. (1894).— Rothschild, Novit. Zool. v. p. 85 (1898). — Id. 
Thierreich, Lief. 2, Parad. p. 45 (1898). 
Dr. Meyer gives the habitat of this species as the islands of Trobriand, Ferguson, Normanby, and 
Goodenough. 
Genus XXVII. LYCCCORAX. 
^ 1. Lycocorax pyrrhopterus. 
Lycocorax pyrrhopterus, Sharpe, Monogr. Parad. part i. (1891).- — Id. Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, iv. p. xiv (1894). —
