( 1 ) Although the G. Ptiloris is here placed among the Paradisiadce, 
its affinities to Epimachus are so strong as to render it far from im- 
probable that a stricter analysis, and better accpiaintance with these 
hitherto little known groups, will place it among the Promeropidoe, 
rendering it the connecting link between Promcropidcc, Mclliphagide , 
and Paradisiadce. 
The types of the Paradisiadse are given with doubt, as their 
rarity and the difficulty of obtaining unmutilated specimens has hither- 
to prevented a proper analysis of the group.
