66 THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 



The sexes are exactly alike. The figure (PI. XVIII. fig. 1) is taken from specimen 

 291. 



The types in the Museum of Leyden are marked " Borneo," which is a mistake. 

 Bonaparte has given the exact locality. 



This species has a very extensive range. I have seen specimens from Banda, Ceram- 

 laut, Mysol, Salvatty, Waigiou, Mafor, Ternate, Dammar, Mareh, Motir, and Tidore. It 

 is not quite certain that the bird described by von Pelzeln (I.e.) was really from the Arrou 

 Islands. 



5. Myzomela boiei, S. Mull. 



Nerfarinia (Myzomela) boiei, S. Miill., Verh. Land, en Volkenk., p. 172, 1839-44 (type examined). 

 Myzomela boiei, Salvad., Proc. Zool. Soc, 1878, p. 84 ; Forbes, Proc. Zool. Soe., 1879, p. 261. 



[No. 295. Female. Eyes brown. Stomach had insects. The male of this bird had a 

 red head, but no specimen was shot.] 



6. Zosterops chloris, S. Miill. 



Zosterops ehloris, S. Miill. in \Tus. Lugd. (type examined) ; Bp., Consp., vol. i. p. 398, 1850; 

 Hartl. Journ. f. Orn., 1865, p. 24; Salvad., Proc. Zool. Soe., 1878, p. 81. 



[Nos. 287, male ; 288, female. Eyes brown ; legs slate-colour. Stomach contained 

 insects. In flocks on trees near the shore.] 



The sexes are exactly alike. 



To this species have been referred also specimens from Ternate and Bouru ; but those 

 from Ternate agree better with Zosterops intermedia, Wall., from Celebes, and one 

 specimen from Bouru in the British Museum, collected by Wallace, belongs to a species 

 not yet described.
