A single male from Cairns, regarding which Mr. Olive' 
notes: “ This specimen was procured in forest-country at the 
foot of Mt. Sapphiri. The species seems to be scarce, as I 
have only seen this specimen, which it took me over a week 
to secure. Iris brown; feet reddish brown; bill brown. 
Insects in stomach .” 
66. *Eurostopus argus Hartert; id. t. c. p. 608. 
“ Several specimens from Cooktown and Mt. Sapphiri. 
Always in pairs. Sleep on the ground during the day, and 
are very hard to find, as it is impossible to see them until 
they are flushed, as their colour assimilates so closely to 
dead leaves. They make no nest, but lay their single egg 
on the ground, generally on a stony ridge. Iris, feet, and 
bill brown ” {Olive). 
67. Podargus papuensis Q. & G.; Hartert, t. c. p. 630 o 
A solitary specimen from Cairns and a large series from 
Cooktown in very varying plumage, some of them appa¬ 
rently in the stage of plumage described by Gould as 
C. plumiferus. Some of them are labelled as having the iris 
t( red/' others yellow, and the more rufous birds are sexed 
female. 
68. *Podargus phaltENoides Gould; Hartert, t. c. p. 634. 
“ Iris yellow ; feet purplish brown ; bill brown ” [Olive).

p. 651. 
Three specimens, with rufous auriculars and the centre of 
the abdomen pure white, are evidently referable to NE. leuco- 
gaster Gould, if that species is valid, which these specimens 
seem to show may be the case. “ Iris brown; feet pale pink ; 
bill black ” {Olive).
