2 Dr. G. Hartlaub on a new African Pigeon 
north corner of New Ireland. It lives in the high jungle - 
grass, and is difficult to obtain. 
I have the pleasure of naming this bird after Mr. Karl 
Hunstein, the zealous and able collector in south-east New 
Guinea, to whom science is indebted for the discovery of 
many new species. 
2. Carpophaga subflavescens, sp. nov. 
Male and Female. Delicate yellowish white, the head and 
underparts more distinctly yellowish; primaries and secon¬ 
daries uniform black ; under tail-coverts broadly tipped with 
black; apical half of tail-feathers black, this colour dimi¬ 
nishing in extent towards the external feathers, the outer¬ 
most pair having only one inch width of black at the tips; 
shafts of the tail-feathers bright yellow; iris dark brown; 
bill greenish, with the tip yellow; feet plumbeous. Total 
length 14*0 inches, wing 9’0, tail 4* 10. 
Hab. Extreme north corner of New Ireland; not plentiful. 
This species may be distinguished at once from the Torres 
Straits Pigeon (Carpophaga spilorrhoa) by its distinct yel¬ 
lowish colour, besides which the outermost tail-feather in the 
latter is white nearly to the end, and the black spot on the 
under tail-coverts is margined with white at the extreme 
end.
