29. Geopelia maugeus (Temm. & Knip.). 



Evidently not rare on the Key Islands. Mr. Kiilin sent a sories from Toeal, 

 Little Key. It occnrs also on the South-East Islands. We have three from 

 Kilsoein, in the Koer gronp, one from Fathol, Manggoer gronp, two from Taam. 



30. Columba albigularis (Bp.). 



We have not received this species from Toeal, where Mr. Kiihn resides ; bnt 

 he sent a series of adnlt birds and a nestling from Soa Island, near Little Key 

 Island, and one from Maar, near Ceram-lant. 



31. Chalcophaps stephani Rchb. 



Known from the Key Islands, bat not from the South-East Islands or Moluccas. 

 The distribution is thus a most remarkable one, as it embraces (Celebes and the 

 whole of New Guinea to the Bismarck Archipelago, bnt misses the Moluccas entirely. 



Mr. Kiihn sent us two adult males from Toeal, where Captain Webster also 

 procured one. 



32. Chalcophaps chrysochlora (Wagl.). 



Found on the Key and South-East Islands. Mr. Kiihu sent it from Toeal, 

 Koer, and Manggoer. 



The relations of this bird to Chalcophaps iiulica are not quite clear. It would 

 seem that it replaces it geographically in most places, and may be only a subsi)ecie8 

 of the latter, especially as it seems to be connected with it through sanghireiisis, 

 which stands somewhat between chn/sochlora and indica ; at the same time we are 

 not quite sure that they do not occur together in some places. 



33. Chalcophaps indica (Linn.). 



While we have received Gh. chrysochlora from Koer and Manggoer, we got 

 typical indica from Manawoka in the Goram group, from Teoor and ( 'eram-Iaut. 



IV. MEGAPODIIDAE. 

 34. Megapodius duperreyi duperreyi Less, et Garn. 



This is the only Megapodius known from the Key and South-East Islands. 

 Mr. Kiihn sent it from Toeal, Little Key, Teoor, Kilsoein in the Koer group, and 

 Kisoei. 



These specimens agree entirely with those from other countries of the range of 

 typical duperrci/i. 



V. TURNICIDAE. 



35. Turnix maculosa (Temm.). 



A single /ma^e, Eer Island, Little Key group, west, 14. xii. 1900. "Iris 

 white; feet yellow ochreons ; bill greenish yellow."
