29. Ptilinopus pectoralis Wagl. 

 We have 20 specimens : 



8 c? with no locality. 



1 S Kajiaur (Doherty coll.). "Iris orange-scarlet with an internal ring of 

 yellow ; feet carmine ; bill orange Vith yellow tip." 



2 (?, 1 ? Mansinam (Brnijn coll.). 

 1 ? Dorey (Brnijn coll.). 



1 ? Waigin (Powell coll.). 



4 c?, 2 ? Mysol (Ktihn coll.). 



3o. Ptilinopus salvadorii Rothsch. 

 AVe have still only the three specimens mentioned in the Cat. B. Brit. Mus. 

 XXI. p. 151 : 



2 (? " Snrui, Johi Island fBrnijn coll.), Jannary 1st, 1883." 



One specimen without label, but of exactly the same preparation as the other two. 



31. Ptilinopus viridis (L.). 



We have at present 18 skins : 



5 S Bnru (Doherty coll.). 



4 S Maar Island, Ceram-lant group (Kiihn coll.). 



7 (J, 2 ? Manawoka, Goram group (Kiihn coll.). 



32. Ptilinopus musschenbroeki Schl. 



We have 17 specimens : 



8 (?, 6 9 Mafor (W. Doherty coll.). 



5 ? without locality (Brnijn coll.). 



2 (?, Marai, Jolii Island (Doherty coll.). 



On the label : "April 1897 ; i ; iris outwardly orange-red, inwardly yellow ; 

 feet bright red ; claws greyish-brown ; bill olive-yellow ; base of upper mandible 

 rich ochre." 



The last two specimens point to the occurrence on Jobi of P. salvadorii as well 

 as P. musschenbroeki, for, while there may bo some slight doubt as to Brnijn's 

 localities, there can be no donbt that Doherty's specimens are really from Jobi. 



33. Ptilinopus lewisi Rams. 



We have one c? and one ¥ from Guadalcanar (Woodford coll.), which are quite 

 typical. We also have a i (marked ?) from Fauro, Shortland Islands, which 

 differs from the Guadalcanar <? in having the chin green instead of grey. 



34. Ptilinopus vicinus Hart. 



We have four males, including the type from Fergusson (Meek coll.). Also 

 three younger birds marked " ? ," but evidently immature males. Two males, 

 Goodenough Island (Meek coll.). 



This is of course only a subspecies of lewisi ; but we do not yet understand 

 the affinities of the rest, and as we have provisionally employed binomials for the 

 rest of these forms we have done so also in this case. (Cf. Nov. Zool. 1895, p. 62 ; 

 1896, p. 249.)
