The species of Gyaucaliis and especially of J'Jdoliisoma of the 

 Solomons' and Duke of York Group require careful revision, anc? 

 comparison of the various types of the species, but this can only 

 be done where large series of eacii species have been brought 

 together.

I have received several specimens of this species, but it does 

 not appear to be a common bird.

If this species is. distinct from the next, then I have never 

 seen it, but it appears to me to be only the young of P, melano-
