A young male of this species, which is the only one of the family found in the Papuan subregion. 9. CENTROPUS ATERALBUS. Centropus ateralbus, Less. Voy. Coq. Zool. i. p. 620, Atlas, t. 33 ; Bp. Consp. i. p. 108. One example of this Coucal, which was originally discovered by Lesson, during the voyage of the ' Coquille,' at Port Praslin, New Ireland. 10. CACATUA GOFFINI. Plictolophus goffini, Finsch, Papag. i. p. 308. A single skin of a white Cockatoo, is apparently referable to this species, of which the exact habitat was previously unknown. 11. GEOFFROIUS HETEROCLITUS. Pionus heteroclitus, Hombr. et Jacq. Voy. au P. S. t. 25; Puch. ibid. Zool. iii. p. 105. Pionias heteroclitus, Finsch, Papag. ii. p. 390. Two skins apparently referable to the female or young of this species as represented in the second figure of the Atlas of the 'Voyage au Pole Sud.' Dr. Pucheran has recognized in this form a distinct species, which he has proposed to call Pionus cyaniceps, but Dr. Finsch believes him to be in error on this point. Dr. Finsch has examined the two specimens in the present collection. One of them has had its wings cut, having been apparently in captivity. 12. LORIUS CHLOROCERCUS. Lorius chlorocercus, Gould, P. Z. S. 1856, p. 137; G. R. Gray, List of Psitt. p. 49 ; Sclater, P. Z. S. 1867, p. 183, pl. xvi. Domicella chlorocerca, Finsch, Papag. ii. p. 767. Three skins of this splendid species are in the collection. 13. LORIUS HYPCENOCHROUS. Lorius hypoinochrous, G. R. Gray, List of Psitt. p. 49 (1859). Domicella hypoinochroa, Finsch, Papag. ii. p. 768. One skin of this fine Lory is in the collection. I have compared it with the typical example in the British Museum, which is, as far as I know, unique. 14. Eos CARDINALIS. Lorius cardinalis, Homb. et Jacq. Voy. au P. S. Zool. iii. p. 101, t. 24 bis. i. 2. Domicella cardinalis, Finsch, Papag. ii. p. 785. Dr. Finsch has kindly undertaken the examination of this rare |
