Appears to be a young bird; could not make out the sex.-J. Mi] Mr. Gould has expressed some doubts about M. arfakianus, Meyer, being really different from this species; but the greater amount of black on the head and on the neck of JE. arfakianus, the triangular shape of the light spots, with the acute angle turning downwards, on the upper part of the breast, and the smaller dimensions, distinguish at once the New-Guinea bird from its Aruan relative. 34.
