69. Salvadori on new Species of Papuan Birds. 
[Nuove specie di Colombi dei generi Megaloprepia, Reich., e Macro- 
pygia, Sw. Ann. Mus. Genov, xii. p. 426.] 
Megaloprepia poliura, from Jobi and Southern New Guinea, 
a conspecies of M. magnifica, and Macropygice buruensis 
and maforensis^ from the islands indicated by their names, 
standing in similar relationship to M. amboinensis, are here 
described. Tables of the representative forms of both genera 
are given. 
70. Salvadori on certain Cassowaries. 
[Intorno ad alcune specie di Casoari poco note. Ann. Mus. Genov, xii. 
p. 419.] 
Of three Cassowaries^ skins received in the beginning of this 
year from Hr. Bruijn, M. Laglaize sold one (the most adult), 
which came from Wandammen, to the British Museum, the 
second, from Warbusi, to the Jardin des Plantes, and the third 
(not adult, and without exact locality) to Count E. Turati, of 
Milan. To the first of these the name of Casuarius altijugus 
was given by Sclater at a Meeting of the Zoological Society of 
London on 19th of Feb., 1878'^, but was afterwards withdrawn 
in favour of the name salvadorii'\, under which, on the 23rd 
February, M. Oustalet described the second J. The third spe¬ 
cimen turns out to be C. tricarunculatus of Beccari, founded 
upon a living example from Warbusi, which Beccari left at 
Ternate in 1875 under Hr. Bruijn’s care. Dr. Salvadori now 
doubts whether Cassowary No. 2, from Warbusi, is really iden¬ 
tical with No. 1 from Wandammen, i. e. whether C. altijugus 
really = C. salvadorii, i. e. if the localities are rightly assigned. 
Dr. Salvadori has given the provisional name C. sclateri to 
C. beccarii of Sclater in P. Z. S. 1875, p. 527, pi. 58, from 
Southern New Guinea, as he thinks it probably dilfferent 
from C. beccarii (verus) of the Aru Islands. Sclater has 
remarked (P. Z. S. 1878, p. 213) that this specimen, now in 
the British Museum, can hardly be distinguished from Casso¬ 
wary No. 1 of the preceding list, i. e. from C. altijugus.
