Named in honour of its discoverer. 



This form is apparently nearest to G. keijensis Biittik ; described from a young 

 bird in the Leyden Museum {Notes Leyden Miis. v. XV. 1893, p. 258), but it is much 

 more rufous above and on the flanks, also smaller. It differs from (j. inormita and 

 G. everetti in the markings of the tail, and the colour of the upperside. It seems 

 to agree very nearly with G. kissercnsis Finsch {Notes Leyden Mas. v. XX., p. 133, 

 1898) in the markings of the tail, but it is not at all olive-brown, but rufous-brown 

 on the upperside. 



No doubt several of these forms will in future be treated merely as subspecies, 

 but at present a satisfactory review cannot be given from the material in the Tring 

 Museum. 



10. Edoliosoma dispar Salvad. 



A fine series from Dammer. Cumparing them with a series from Key and 

 Banda, I found no constant difl"erences. The size is rather variable. S ad. : " Iris 

 dark brown, feet and bill black." ? ad. : " Iris dark brown, bill brownish black, 

 feet slaty grey." 



11. Dicaeum salvadorii A. B. Meyer. 



One single male from Woeloer, Dammcr, agrees fully with Dr. Meyer's descrip- 

 tion of D. salmdoiii from a single male from Bebber. It diff'ers from I), mackloti 

 in having a larger and wider bill, the red of the throat being more extended towards
