17. — Eurystomus crassirostris, Schter. 



In no way different from the Port Moresby examples. Several 

 specimens from Cai^e Pitt, &c. 

 Loc. Savo ; Gaudalcanar, &c. 



18.— Edoliisoma marescotii, G .R. Gray. 

 Adult males and females ; and young in change of plumage. 

 The young males resemble the females. 



19. — GrATJCALUS HYPOLETTCUS, GouU. 



This species agrees well with the description in the " Voyage au 

 Pole Sud," of G. desgraizei, it is however smaller, and undoubtedly 

 identical with Mr. Gould's G. hypoleucus. A young bird, has the 

 scapulars brown with white margins. 



Loc. Gaudalcanar. 



20. — GrATJCALTJS DTJSSUMIERI, ZeSS. 



Male and female from Gaudalcanar. 



21. — Gratjcaltts pttsilltjs, sp. 110V.* 

 This species comes near to G. dussumieri of Homb. et Jacq., 

 but differs in having the rump of the same uniform tint as the 

 back and upper tail coverts, it is also smaller. 



Adult. — The whole of the upper and under surface is of a 

 bluish lead grey, the tail becoming black above, washed with 

 bluish grey on the outer webs of the centre two feathers, and dull 

 blackish with an ashy grey tinge below ; wings black, the third 

 and remaining quills margined narrowly on the primaries, 

 broadly on the secondaries, with the same tint as the back, 

 which increasing on the tertiaries occupies the whole of their 

 outer web, the under surface of the wing is ashy grey, becoming 

 whitish ash color towards the base of the inner webs ; the under 



* This may hereafter prove to be a smaller race of G. muelleri, (Salvd.), but 

 at present I prefer to keep them distinct.
