paper. Five species are characterized as new to science, 
namely :— Rhipidurafuscovirens , from New Guinea; Gracula 
gnathoptila, from New Hanover; Trichoglossus flavicans , from 
New Hanover ; CEdirhinus globifer (new genus and species 
of Fruit-Pigeons), from New Ireland; and Megapodius hues - 
keri, from New Hanover. A new genus, Melidipnus, is made 
for Ptilotis megarhynchus, Gray, from New Guinea. New 
Hanover, which, so far as we know, has not been previously 
visited by a collector, lies just to the west of New Ireland, and 
belongs, no doubt, to the Papuan subregion. The following 
is a list of the species procured in this new locality :— 
1. Sauloprocta melanoleuca. 
2. Monarcha cordensis. 
3. Monarcha lucida. 
4. Lalage karu. 
5. Campephaga plumbea. 
6. Lamprotornis metallicus. 
7. Gracula gnathoptila. 
8. Halcyon sacra. 
9. Calyptorhynchus banksii. 
10. Eclectus polychlorus. 
11. Lorius hypoenochrous. 
12. Trichoglossus flavicans. 
13. Carpophaga (Globicera) pacifica. 
14. Macropygia turtur. 
15. Lamprotreron superha. 
16. CEdirhinus globifer. 
17. Megapodius hueskeri. 
18. Totanus incanus.

We see with pleasure that our American friends have estab¬ 
lished a new ornithological club, called after one of the most 
classical and revered names in American ornithology. Four 
numbers of its f Bulletin/ forming the first volume, are 
now before us. Mr. J. A. Allen is its editor, assisted by 
Prof. Baird and Dr. E. Coues, than whom, we need hardly 
say, three more efficient persons, qualified for the task, could 
not have been found. 
The papers in the first four numbers of the Bulletin are 
mostly short, and principally devoted to local matters. Mr. 
W. Brewster (p. 1) describes and figures a new Helmintho- 
phaga, of which a single specimen was procured in Massa¬ 
chusetts in 1870. It is named H. leucobronchialis , and is 
most nearly allied to H. chrysoptera. In the second number
