TWO NEW BIEES OE PAEADISE. 
By PEOFESSOR F. FORESTER 
AND 
THE HON. W. ROTHSCHILD, Ph.D. 
r I ^HE two most remarkable birds here described were 
discovered in the mountains of German New Guinea 
by the veteran collector Wahnes, who will, we hope, give 
us further particulars as to the exact habitat and altitude, 
when he has more fully explored the interesting district 
where he procured these birds. 
It is now nine years since any new Paradiseidae were 
described from German New Guinea, and, owing to the 
large collections sent home from there since, it was thought 
that all the Paradiseidae inhabiting this German colony 
were known. However, Wahnes has proved that much 
remains still to be discovered, and we trust that, in spite 
of great age, he will yet live to send home many more 
fine new species of birds.
