A Papuan species, Chalcopsittacus hruijni^ is described as new, but in a 
foot-note is identified with JE. Oustalet’s new species Chalcopsitta ifisignis, 
and there are several other rectifications of the latter’s supposed novelties 
in his paper on birds of Papuasia \_suprd, p. 21]. The male of Chalco- 
phaps heccarii and the female of Macropygia nigrirostris are here described 
for the first time. IPsittacidce, Meropidce^ Muscicapidoe^ MegapodiidoR,
