with minute dusky cross markings ; rest of under surface of body dull white,

6:6, tail 4°45, tarsus 1°65.

adult female, but of a deeper rufous, the head and neck rather dingier than

dusky chocolate-brown, with very few ochraceous shaft-streaks ; under surface of body dirty white, very
thickly barred across with black ; the flank-plumes elongated, but barred exactly like the breast; from the
base of the lower mandible a malar streak of dusky black, continued down the sides of the throat onto the
sides of the chest. Total length 14°65 inches, culmen 2°3, wing 6°95, tail 4-9, tarsus 1°65.”

[t will be seen that I have not followed the nomenclature employed by me in the Supplement to the ‘ Birds
of Australia.” The present bird and P. albert ought to be placed in a separate genus from that which
contains P. paradisea and P. victorie ; and I therefore propose to adopt Mr. G. R. Gray’s generic name of
Craspedophora for the above two birds.

The figures represent a male and a female, about the natural size, drawn from specimens in my
collection. :
