Abstract

previously investigated ornithologically. The Plesyumi area lies approximately 56 km SSE of Kimbe, in the eastern foothills of the Whiteman Mountains (fig. 1). It consists of the valley of the upper Metelin River and its tributary, the Lae River, which form part of the extensive Kapiura River system draining to the north coast. The entire area is covered with primary rain forest, except for small clearings at prospector camps established as a joint operation of the Amdex Mining Co. and Placer Prospecting (Australia) Pty. Ltd. The nearest native settlement is Paspas (Metelin) Village, located 24 km to the north.
