(Perhaps A. B. Meyer's name Phlegomas joliicnsis, published twice in 1875 (i.e. Sitztim/.'^ber. /.■>;«, 

 Dresden, 1875, Sitzung rom 11. ii. 1875. p. 75, and .Milth. Zool. J/w.?. Dresden i. p. 10) has 

 priority. That Meyer described a young bird is no reason to reject his name.)

? ; Mts. of Goodenough Island,' 29. iv. 1913. (No. 5637, A. S. Meek Coll.) 

 The wing of this bird measures 293 mm. It is thus a rather large bird, and 

 this subspecies still rei^nires further investigation !
