Monarcha keteriirus Salvad. {Ann. Mus. Genov. (2) xvi. p. 74. (1896) ), is 

 apparently only an aberration of M. (/iittuld, as one of onr specimens (a female) from 

 the Aroa River has the two onter pairs of rectrices only tipped with white; the other 

 .two, a male and female, agree in every particular with M. gutttila. Moreover the 

 extent of white on the third outer rectrix varies greatly, from 3 to 12 mm. on the 

 inner web. At the same time it is remarkable that among our series of over fifty 

 specimens only one has absolutely no white on the third rectrix, while all the six 

 skins from Vikaiku in the Owen Stanley Mountains, described as M. heterurus 

 by Count Salvador! {I.e.), have only the two outermost tail-feathers marked with 

 white.

When writing about the various subspecies of Arseg telescophthalmus in Noc. 

 Zool. 1003, pp. 461, 462, we had insufficient material to judge from, and onr con- 

 clusions were therefore too hasty and conse(inently partly wrong. As it is, all the 

 females and young males from Kumusi have the abdomen yellowish buif, like the 

 female from Colling wood Bay mentioned in onr former article, while the abdomen 

 is white in the females of A. t. telescophth(dmus from Dutch New Guinea, and in 

 '^■1. t. hi'nkei from the Astrolabe and Owen Stanley Mountains. The females from 

 Simbang, collected by the late Ur. Nvmiii {.\or. Zool. 1903, p. 461) arc (juite similar,
