Paradigalla carunculata (The Carunculated Paradise Pie).

New Guinea.
18.

( ?) Sericulus aureus (The Paradise Oriole).

New Guinea, Salwatty.
We see, therefore, that of the eighteen species which seem to deserve a place among the Birds of Paradise, eleven are known to inhabit the great island of New Guinea, eight of which are entirely confined to it and the hardly separated island of Salwatty.

But if we consider those islands which are now united to New Guinea by a shallow sea to really form a part of it, we shall find that fourteen of the Paradise Birds belong to that country, while three inhabit the northern and eastern parts of Australia, and one the Moluccas.
