only specimen of this splendid bird that we have ever seen is that above 
described, and which is one of the many highly valuable contributions to 
the Museum of the Academy made by Mr. Edward Wilson. It was obtained

given it above.” 
In the Emu, Vol XVIII, pt. 4, plate xxxv., April 1st, 1919, is a coloured 
figure of birds of this species procured from New Britain and the Duke of 
York Island. In the letterpress to this plate Mr. J. A. Kershaw shares my 
view that “ it seems possible that a mistake has been made in the locality.” 
Dr. Charles W. Richmond of the National Museum of Washington, D.C., also 
shares this view.
