Schlegelia is a new genus, characterized as having the head almost entirely 
bald, being beset by a few hairs only, and the two middle rectrices in the 
male very long, recurved and spirally contorted. The type is Schlegelia calva, 
from the interior of Waigiou, previously described by Professor Schlegel 
(Nederl. Tijdschr. Dierk. 1864, pp. 1, 2), on Dr. Bernstein’s authority, as be- 
longing to the group Diphyllodes, containing Paradisea speciosa and P. mlsonij 
which two species it resembles in size and form. In the male the top of the 
head is covered with a bare skin of a very brilliant cobalt-blue, in the female 
of a dull blue, varied with red and grey. The rest of the head and chin are* 
black, the hind part of the neck and mantle straw-colour. The rest of the 
back is of a fine red as in P. regia. The front of the neck and throat are of 
a fine deep green with metallic reflexions, the breast and belly are black. In 
the female the distribution of the colours, especially on the lower parts, re- 
sembles that of Yunx torquilla. II. A. Bernstein, Nederl. Tijdschr. Dierk.
