Edoliisoma SP. 



? Graucalus monotonus, Tristram, Ibis, 1879, p. 441. 



Edoliisoma marescotii, Ramsay, P.L S., N.S.W., IV. p. 71. 



"We have a male of this species of Edoliisoma, which agrees 

 well with Mr. Tristram's description of Graucalus monotonus. It 

 is of a uniform dark slaty-blue, wings and tail black, inner 

 margin of the webs of the wing-quills below ashy-brown at the 

 base, outer webs of primaries and secondaries like the back — 

 centre tail feathers brownish, tip black ; outer feather on either 

 side margined at the tip with an ashy tint. 



The female, cinnamon-brown on the head, hind-neck, and back ; 

 wings black, broadly margined with cinnamon-rufus on both 

 webs above and below, the tail of a richer tint of cinnamon, 

 shaded near the centre of the inner webs towards the base with 

 ashy, lores and a spot behind the eye blackish-brown ; chin, 

 throat, under wing and tail-coverts and the rest of the under 

 surface light cinnamon rufous. 



Female. — Total length 8*3 ; wing 4*3 ; tail 3*7 ; tarsus 0-95 ; 

 bill 0-95 inch. 



Male. — Total length 8-3; wing 4-4; tail 3-6; tarsus 0-9; 

 bill 1" inch. 



It is not improbable that this is the Edoliisoma salomonis of 

 Tristram, (Ibis 1879, p. 440), and that the discription has been 

 taken from an immature specimen of a female. 



Symmorphus apfinis, Tristram, (Ibis, 1879, p. 440.) 



This specimen, a female, seems to be identical with the "Lalage 

 sp." mentioned in my paper on the Birds of the New Hebrides, 

 (P.L.S. of N.S.W., Vol. III., p. 338) the uropygium is however 

 all white, but it has less white on the tips of the tail feathers.
