With faint barring on the back and interscapulars, and over the whole of the outer surface of the wing. 188. PHLOGCENAS RUFIGULA (Puch. et Jacq.). Phlogcenas rufigula, Salvad. op. cit. vol. iii. p. 161. a. 31 Salwatti. b. Arfak. Iris pink ; bill brown ; feet purple-madder. Length 23*5 centims., wing 12*5-13*2. The Arfak bird differs in having the grey supraocular stripe much more marked, and the rufous of the vertex merging gradually into the brownish occiput. In the Salwatti bird there is a sharp boundary line here, and the occipital region is much darker. Beneath, in the latter example, the crissum and tibials are isabelline. 189. HENICOPHAPS ALBIFRONS, G. R. Gr. Henicophaps albifrons, Salvad. op. cit. vol. iii. p. 183. a. 8- Waigiou. Iris black ; bill slate ; feet coral. With the white forehead edged round faintly with pale fulvous, more marked posteriorly. 190. EUTRYGON TERRESTRIS (G. R. Gr.). Eutrygon terrestris, Salvad. op. cit. vol. iii. p. 186. a. 2 • Andai. Iris red ; bill with the base dark slate-colour, the apex whitish ; feet pink. Length 37*5 centims., wing 18*0. 191. OTIDIPHAPS NOBILIS, Gould. Otidiphaps nobilis, Salvad. op. cit. vol. iii. p. 188. a. Dorei (?). b, c. Arfak. Example a was obtained from a native in Dorei Bay, and was believed to have been shot in the vicinity. While in Waigiou I was informed by the natives that a bird, apparently of this species, inhabited the island, which is not improbable, as Von Rosenberg has met with it in Batanta. The hunters of the Rajah Ampat know this species by the name of Rajah Maleo ! 192. GOURA CORONATA (Linn.). Goura coronata, Salvad. op. cit. vol. iii. p. 191. a, b. 8. Waigiou. c. 2 • Waigiou. d. 8.
