The BIRD OF Paradise.

In his recent work regarding his
excursion into the intererior of New
Guinea" D'Albertis says he rambled
about in the vicinity of his habitation,
and found a fine young male of the six
shaftcd Bird of Paradise (Parota sex
pennis), which had never been preyi-
ously obtained except through native
agency, and in imperfect condition.
Other examples of both sexes we're sub
seQuently obtained, the adult male be-
ing always found alone in the thiekest
parts of the forest, while the female and
young birds are usually met with at q
lower elevation. Respecting the Para
disc bird d 'Albertis states that it is very
noisy and feeds upon various kinds of
fruit, more especially on kind of fig
which is very plentiful upon the
mountain ranges. To clean its rich
plumage, it scrapes a round place
clear of grass and leaves, where the
ground is airy, and rolls itself in the
dust like gallinaceous bird, at the same
time elevating and depressing its plum
age, and also raising and lowering the
six remarkable plumes on its head, from
which it derives its specific name. On
the following day (September 81, d'Al-
bertis was fortunate enough to obtain
adult specimens of the Six-shafted Para
disc Bird just described, and also of the
Superb Paradise Bird which he had OBJ
served on his way up the mountain. The
latter is found on the same mountains,
and feeds on similar fruit; it flies about
from branch to branch among the trees
Of the forest, uttering cry of ni.ed,
ni.ed" and from this peculiar note is
named by the natives Media" while
the Six-shafted Paradise Bird is called
"Coron-a." After skinning his Paradise
Birds, Signor d'Albertis roasted their
flesh for his dinner, and found it of an
avoallanf favor
