C. occipitalis of Salvadori^ from Ansus, Jobi, of which 
the typical specimen is now at Genoa, is a close ally of 
C. uniappendiculatus, and has a small median wattle, not 
mentioned in Salvadori^s original description, which is now

71. Salvadori on a new Species of Chalcopsittacus, and on 
New-Guinea Birds. 
[Descrizione di una nuova specie di uccello del genere Chalcopsittacusj 
Bp., e note intorno ad altre specie di nccelli della Nuova Guinea. Atti 
della R. Ac. Sci. Tor. xiii. p. 309.] 
Chalcopsittacus bruijni, sp. nov., is from the Papuan island 
Amberpon, in the Bay of Geelvink; it is based on two female 
examples sent home by Hr. Bruijn through M. Laglaize. 
The same species appears to have also been described by M. 
Oustalet as C. insignis (Bull. Ass. Sc. Prance, Jan. 20,1878). 
Other rare species spoken of in this article are Cuculus leu- 
colophus of S. Muller, from Warbusi, and Chalcophaps beccarii, 
from Mount Arfak, of which the male is now described for 
the first time.

Gives an account of a collection from the island of Tarawai, 
or D^Urville Island, on the north coast of New Guinea 
(143° 7' E. lat.), sent by Hr. Bruijn through M. Laglaize*.

of these birds are described as new. But Salvadori states that Merops 
modestus, Ous,t.y=iM. ornatus) Chcenorhamphus cyanopectus, Oust., = To- 
dopsis grayiy and Megapodius decollatus, Oust., = Jf, affinis^ Meyer.
