nopus superbus , P. ionozonus, P. coronulatus, P. aurantiifrons, 
and Ptilonopus nanus , which for the most part inhabit New 
Guinea, Am Islands,, and North Australia. A bird strictly 
Papuan, one of the largest of this family, is the Crested Pigeon, 
or Goura, of which four species are known, viz.—G. victories , 
G. coronata , G. albertisi, and G. sclateri, although the former 
has not been yet found on the Papuan continent. G. coro¬ 
nata is found on the north-west, and G. albertisi on the east¬ 
ern peninsulas, and G. sclateri in the central part of New 
Guinea, where I discovered it during my first visit to the Fly. 
During my second trip I found it also at Kataw River. If 
in the Papuan forest lives this gigantic form of the family, 
there we also find a dwarf in the rare and pretty Ptilonopus 
nanus. Dendrocygna guttata, D. vagans, Nettapus pulchellus, 
Pelecanus conspicillatus , Heematopus longirostris, Mycteria 
australis , and Tachypetes prion, &c. are all birds common 
to the Aru Islands and Australia, and only lately added to 
the list of New-Guinea birds. I wish I could give the specific 
name of a beautiful Cassowary, of which I possess a skin 
and skeleton; but so many species of this bird have been 
lately described, that I do not venture to say to which it be¬ 
longs, though I am inclined to think it may be a Casuarius 
australis * *.
