Note.— Zosterops tephropleura Gonld, Proc. Zool. Soc. {Land.) l.s.55. p. Ifi6, 

 was described as from Lord Howe Island. The type sjiecimen which I liave now 

 before me is the bird recently described by Campbell and White {Emu vol. x. 

 p. 196. 1910) as Zosterops chlorocephalus, the types of which I have carefully 

 compared with it. The only couclnsion I can arrive at is that Z. tpphroplfura 

 did not come from Lord Howe Island, bat was collected somewhere on the 

 Barrier Reef. In confirmation I may state that the specimen was received by 

 Gonld with birds from Lord Howe Island and also from the Barrier Reef sent 

 from Cape York. Further evidence is that the specimen lacks Macgillivray's 

 original label, and I therefore presume it arrived without such label and was 

 erroneously credited to Lord Howe Island. Macgillivray's specimens are 

 beautifully labelled and accurate, and that this specimen lacks data in itself 

 causes suspicion as to its correct locality. I have seen no specimen at all like 

 it from Lord Howe Island, and cannot trace any recent record.
