describes the hitherto unknown male of Trichoglossus pul - 
chellus of Gray, and gives other interesting remarks on species 
allied to those above mentioned. 
In his second paper* Dr. Meyer describes Monarcha kor- 
densis, from Mysore, Artamus maximus , from the Arfak moun¬ 
tains, and j Redes jobiensis, from Jobi, and gives remarks on 
species of Redes , Myiolestes, Podargus, Megapodius , &c. As 
regards the Cassowaries of New Guinea, Dr. Meyer brought 
from the vicinity of Havre Dorey one immature and another 
very young example of Casuarius, which he cannot certainly 
determine. In reference to C. papuanus of Rosenberg, ob¬ 
tained near the same locality, Dr. Meyer considers it doubt¬ 
fully distinct from C. uniappendiculatus f. 
In his third paper J three new species of Campephaga are 
described under the names C. montana , C. maforensis , and 
C. incerta , and remarks are given upon other species of the 
genus met with. Redes ohscura is characterized as new; and 
different plumages of R. nigrescens of Schlegel, of which four 
examples were obtained, are described. Of Pachycephala, 
which is next spoken of, two new species (P. haltamensis and 
P. affinis ), apparently allied to PucheraAs Pteruthrius spini - 
caudus, were collected, besides examples of Pachycephala 
senex, Puch., and P. griseiceps , G. R. Gray. Of Monarcha 
an interesting new species of the same form as M. telescoph - 
thalma was discovered in Jobi, and is named M. insular is. 
Of the singular Corvine form, Gymnocorvus senex , three spe¬ 
cimens were obtained, two on the mainland of New Guinea 
and one in Jobi. They present slight differences, which are 
duly pointed out. The Strix tenebricosa of Australia is stated 
to have been procured in the Arfak mountains, also a single

t Casuarius kaupi, Scl. (nec Rosenb.), is undoubtedly distinct from C, 
uniappendiculatus; and I have now renamed it C. westermanni. See P. Z. 
S. 1874, p. 247. Nor can I myself understand how it is possible to con¬ 
found C. uniappendiculatus with any other species. Even in its imma¬ 
ture brown plumage, as shown by the living example now in the Zoolo¬ 
gical Society’s Gardens, this Cassowary has a distinct median wattle.
