620 Messrs. H. C. Robinson and W. S. Laverock on 
appear to be representative forms of one another, should 
occur in the same district. H. berigora is generally con¬ 
sidered to be a dry country form of H. orientalis. Both 
species, however, have been recorded from Port Moresby, 
and a third form, H. nova-guinea Meyer, has been described 
from German New Guinea. 
10. *Pandion leucocephalus Gould; Sharpe, t. c. p. 451. 
Two females. 
“Very shy and scarce: generally found in pairs in the 
neighbourhood of the sea, but sometimes further up the 
Endeavour Biver. Iris yellow; feet bluish white; bill 
black ” ( Olive). 
11. *Strix Candida Tick.; Sharpe, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. 
ii. p. 308 (1875). 
“ Scarce. Iris black ; feet and bill whitish liorn-colour. 
Insects in crop ” {Olive). 
12. *Strix delicatula Gould. 
Strix flammea Sharpe, t. c. p. 291. 
“Iris black; feet brown; bill whitish horn-colour” 
[Olive). 
13. *Hieroglaux humeralis (Hombr. & Jacq.). 
Ninox humeralis Sharpe, t. c. p. 180. 
A single specimen, of which the label has unfortunately 
been lost, agrees well with an example of this species from 
New Guinea with which we have compared it. It has been 
previously recorded as Australian by Mr. De Vis (Ann. Rep. 
Brit. New Guinea, Append. EE, p. 99, 1894). 
14. tHlEROGLAUX CONN1VENS (Lath.). 
Ninox connivens Sharpe, t. c. p. 176. 
A single male from Mt. Sappliiri, Cairns. 
This specimen has the stripes on the flanks somewhat 
more reddish-brown, and the coloration of the upper surface 
rather paler than the typical form. 
In this it would appear to agree with the form separated 
as Ninox peninsularis Salvad., which, however, is described as 
being very considerably smaller than typical H. connivens.
