“This species is found at Cape York, the Islands of Torres 
Straits, and in the southern portions of New Guinea. This is the 
only known species of the genus that has not the handsome rose- 
coloured frill on the nape of the neck. Its bower is larger than 
that of any of the foregoing, and has the sides nearly parallel 
with one another, with a very slight curvature at the top. It is 
not so highly ornamented as the bowers of other members of this 
genus. The nest is an open one, cup-shaped, and built near the 
ground ; it is composed of twigs, pieces of bark and moss, and is 
lined inside with grass, &c. The egg is very like that of C. 
maculata in colour, with the same peculiar linear markings crossing 
and recrossing each other all round ; but confined more to the 
larger end of the egg than is usually the case in C. maculata. A 
specimen of this egg in the Australian Museum Collection, taken 
at Cape York, measures 1’4 inch in length by T*03 inch in breadth.”
