THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
I therefore admit two subspecies — 
Megapodargus papuensis haileyi Mathews. Cairns District, North 
Queensland. 
Megapodargus papuensis rogersi Mathews. Cape York, North 
Queensland. 
In the Jubilee Supplement, No. 2, Ihis^ 1915, writing upon the birds of 
Dutch New Guinea, Ogilvie-Grant did not attempt to indicate the New Guinea 
races of this species, nor touch upon the subject at all. Nevertheless, there 
are probably several races in New Guinea easily distinguishable when series 
are available.
