" Iris brown ; feet dark slate ; liill lihu'k." 



Fully adnlt males have the throat more or less black, which is not the case in 

 E. e. erythropiiqiuin. The size of tlie bill is somewhat variable. 



76. Edoliisoma holopolius (Sharpe). 



Gmniahix holopolius Sharpe, /■'. Z. .S'.18KH. p. 184 ((iuadalcanar). (Cf. Kor. Ziml. 1901. p. .374.)

1 ?, immat., Choisenl, 13. i. 1004 (No. A. 1148). 



"Iris dark brown; feet light horn-colonr ; bill blackish, base of lower 

 mandible pale." 



This single specimen is immature and moulting, and therefore we do not 

 venture to separate it from (J. pajitieiinis, thongh the bill is 2 mm. longer than 

 ill our two specimens of the latter, and the rnmp is apparently darker. 



78. Pachycephala astrolabi Bp.

In addition to the variations of females and immature birds described in JVoi:. 

 Zoo/. 1001, p. 375, we must mention the following two females : — 



" ?," No. A. 1479, Bougainville: Throat, sides of neck, breast and sides of 

 abdomen cinnamon-rufous, forehead, and outer aspect of wings ochraceons-rnfons, 

 centre of abdomen and vent buff 



" ?," No. A. 936, Choisenl : Upper surface bright olive, whole under surface 

 golden yellow ; wings fuscous with rufous edges. 



79. Zosterops rendovae Tristr. 



Ztistefiips rendovae Tristram, Ihh, l.'<8j!. p. \'.\i> (Kendova). 



Differs from Z. kulamhangrae (JVor. Zool. lOol, p. 180) in having no white 

 orbital ring and no such black loral spot. 



Dr. Finsch (Tier/r/ck Lief. xv. p. 20) unites with Z. remlomi'. Dr. Ramsay's 

 Z. ugiensis ! Seeing that such closely neighbouring islands as Kalambangra and 

 Rendova have different forms, one is not justified in accepting such a view.
