 cream-colonr, the somewliat lighter, more fiery red throat-patch not surrounded by 

 a wide black line, but only by an indicated or narrow band, il' present at all. LJabber 

 and Moa Islands. 



The one male we have from Dammer seems to belong to salvadorii. Perhaps 

 it does not occur there regularly. The specimen is not in very good condition. 



Mr. Kiihu sent from Babbcr h S S and 7 ¥ ? (Nos. 6610, 0618, 6021, 6087, 

 6691, 0729, 0828, 686o, 0884, 6931, 6973, 0999). " c? ? Iris black, feet black,

M. hoki ^OiVv' differs from .1/. b. annnhellai: -a^ follows : It is larger, and the black 

 area limiting the red throat is much wider. Otherwise they agree in all essential 

 characters. 



Mr. Kiihn sent a fine series from Babber (Nos. 0613, 6014, 6017, 60.55, 6003, 

 6667, 6670, 6671, 6082, 6728, 6731, 6732, 0730, 6749, 0750, 0977, 6980, 6990).

 September 1905 (Nos. 0772, 6878, 6888, 0949, 6950). The young bird seems to be

 below yellowish buff. The wings are longer than in young .17. jxtllida. The adult 

 female dilfers only slightly from the adnlt male.
