T h e late Mr W. A. Fo,-bes published a note on this species from Mr. Tho,-pe, who obsc-ved the bird
in Cape' Yo,-k Peninsida, where it was found with P/llo,im alberti. He says that " they frequent the
deep pain,-forests, and are usually seen high up in the trees; they utter a very deep antl loud guttural note,
,-ather prolouoed, and unlike that of any other bird with which I am thmilia,-. Their movements a,-e
partic,da,-lv active and g,-acef,d ; on approaching them they evince more curiosity than t,m,d,ty, look,„g
down at the slightest n.,ise. and appa,-ently n,o,-e an.xious to obtain a full view of the intruder than for the,r
own safety They a,-e almost invariably iu pai,-s, and both bi,-ds can genei-ally be securcd. Ihe notes
u,ore powerful and sonorous than anyone would suppose so su,all a bird could be capable of producug.
I t was a long time before I could believe that so powc fid a souud emanated fron, this bird."

T h e Hon. Walter Hothschild w,-ites concerning this sH]iposed eastern ,-ace of M. chiihjbeiila :—" While
a(Iuiilli,ig tliat some of the easier,, sjieciniens are of a more ],urplish-bh,e colour, I have others fron,
Kajjiiur ^Ahi(h are more blue than eastern exauiples, while so,ne eastern sjicciincs are greener than, or
quile as green as, wes tcn birds. As to llie alleged dill'eiTuces in size and shape of the beak, ihey are
partly sexual auti jtartly indivitlual. 1 a,n therefore obliged to si,di M. mientalis as a sy„o,iy,u of

The Hon. Walter Kotlischild has received specimens of this Manucode from Mr. Doherty, who procured
the,n at Takar, iu Nortl,cr,i New Guinea (lo,)g. 130°), not fa,- f,-om Kafu. Mr. liothschild considers the
species to be scarcely dilTc-ent lioui JlJ.jo/jiciisis, and o,dy to be distinguished by the "slightly greenish gloss
all over, and by having sliorte,- wi,igs." (No\ it. Zfiol. v. j). 85).
