19. Pachycephala astrolabi Bp. 



Both sexes from Florida, also an immature bird which ajijiaroutly belongs to 

 this species, from Kulambanf;ra. " Iris dark brown, feet slate-colour (in the female 

 light browij), bill l)lack (in the /ciiinlc brown)." 



Our sjieeimens agree fully with those from Guadalcauar. 



20. Mino kreffti (Sol.). 

 Kulambangra and Florida Islands. 



21. Calornis metallica Temm. 

 One yonng ft'mnh' from Florida Island. 



22. Calornis fulvipennis (Jacq. et Pnch.). 



Three from Florida and three from Knlambangra. 



These specimens are very large, tlie wings in the males reaching 100 mm. in 

 length. It remains to be seen whether typic&l /ukipennis from Isabella are equally 

 large. There is no reason to reject the specific name fiiln'pennis, as Swainson's 

 Lamprotornis fidripennis refers to a wiihdy difterent African bird which now has 

 to stand in another genus. Calornis fulmpennis has the iris dark red, bill and 

 feet black. 



23. Hirundo tahitica Gm. 

 Kulambangra. 



24. Macropteryx mystacea woodfordiana Hart. 



This excellent form (cf. Nov. ZooL. 1890, p. 19, and Ticrreich 1. Lief. 

 {Afacrojiteri/giJue) p. 65) differs at a glance from M. mystacea mystacea in its 

 uniform iindcr-snrface, the lower abdomen, belly, and under tail-coverts not being 

 white, lint uniform grey like the breast. The wing measures 20(1 to 2iiS mm. 

 Some individuals (? younger ones) have an indication of a rufous spot behind the 

 ear-coverts. 



AVc have a series from Kulambangra. " Iris dark brown, bill and feet black." 

 These specimens agree with the types from Gnadalcanar. 



25. Eurostopodus nigripennis Rams. 



?. Kulambangra, 8. 3. 1901. " Iris dark bluish black ; feet chocolate brown ; 

 l)ill black. 



This specimen is like the ? in t'anon Tristram's collection (now in the 

 Liverpool Museum), and I believe it to be 9, female, though the collector has added 

 a query to the statement of its sex. The wings and plumage of the body are 

 in moult. 



20. Centropus milo Gould.

 The iris of the adults is marked as light yellowish brown (Florida) and orange
