Of Accipitres in the Papuan subregion^ Salvadori recognizes 
54 species, of which 38 are represented in the collections of 
Albertis, Beccari, and Bruijn by 242 specimens. Ninooo

by Sclater, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 290. This reduces the list

Lanius antinorii is based on a single male specimen, ob¬ 
tained by Marchese Orazio Antinori near Afinu (Danakil) in 
August 1876. It seems to be allied to L. pallidirostriSy 
Cassin.

This paper gives the results of the author^s recent exami¬ 
nation of the specimens of Papuan birds in the collections of 
Paris, London, Leyden, Bremen, Berlin, Dresden, and Vienna, 
made in September and October last year. The new species 
described are:— 
1. Nesocentor aruensis, from the Aru Islands. 
2. Hirundinapus celebensisj from Celebes. 
3. Monarcha diadematus, from Obi. 
4. Monarcha hernsteiniiy from Salwatty. 
^ Since the above was in type, Herr von Pelzeln has kindly sent his 
specimen to us for inspection. There can he little doubt, we think, that the 
skin is that of a female C. phoenicotis, of which we have precisely similar 
specimens in our collections.
