CONSIDEHING tlje number of years that tijis species lias been known to selenee, it is certainly curious that
so little has been recorded concerning its manners and habits ; and, as will be seen below, even the cxact
characters of Its plumajfe and Its differences from allied spceles are still matters of some conjecture.
The Green Manucode Is principally known from New Guinea, but it cannot be said to be as common
as M. atra In any part of the great Island. The most perfect specimen which I have yet seen was obtained
by Mr. Wallace at Dorey, and beyond that example the British Museum does not ])Ossess a single authentic
specimen from North-western New Guinea. The species has, however, been extensively procured by recent
travellers In the Arfak Mountains, at Andel and .Manslnam by Bruijn' s hunters, and at Patat, Warmendl, and
Profi by Dr. Beecarl. D'AlbertIs met with It in Hatam, and Bruljn received specimens from Nappan, while
Beceari records tlie species from Dorei-hum. The bird from Ruhl, supposed at first to be the true
M. dmlyheattt, has slnee been separated from it as M. ruhienm by Dr. A. B. Meyer.
