256 Messrs. E. L. and E. L. C. Layard on 



black collar, and then all tlie lower parts rich gamboge- 

 yellow ; upper parts yellowish green ; wing- and tail-feathers 

 greenish brown, the former edged exteriorly with the colour 

 of the back. Length 7" 6'", wing 3" 10'", tail 3" 2"', tarse 13'", 

 bill 12'". 



Female unknown. This may be the species indicated by 

 M. Marie. 



Clytorhynchus pachycephaloides, D. G. Elliot. 



Described from New Caledonia (P. Z. S. 1870, p. 243), but 

 omitted from M. Marie^s list published the same year. We 

 have not seen it. 



36. Artamus melaleucus, Forst. 



Common generally; appears in the Lifu collection. E. L. L. 

 procured an Artamus at Honailou which differs slightly from 

 this species. It is large, the black of the throat does not 

 apparently descend so low on the chest (this may be occa- 

 sioned by the stuffing) ; and the back has a decided brownish 

 tinge. 



Can this be 



Artamus arnouxi, Bp. ? 

 which is given in Gray^s ' Birds of Tropical Islands ' as pro- 

 bably from New Caledonia, but of which we have no descrip- 

 tion"^. 



37. Campephaga caledonica (Gm.). 



It is generally distributed, feeds on locusts and large insects. 

 We have a bird in the Lifu collection which instantly strikes 

 one as much darker than those killed on the main island. It 

 may be diiferent j we await more specimens of L. L.^s col- 

 lecting. 



Gazzola typica, Bp. 



MM. Verreaux and Des Murs, in the ' Revue,' include 

 this amongst other species not noted by M. Marie. We 

 do not know itf- 



* [This is an error of Mr. Gray. A supposed New-Caledonian species 

 is named by Bonaparte (C, R. xxxviii. p. 538) Ocypterus herardi, and is con- 

 cisely described as " noire ! " Of Artatmis arnouxi (named, and described 

 as " entieremenf ffrtse,'' at the same time) the locality is not given. — Edd.] 



t [Naturally enough ; it is peculiar to Celebes ! — Edd.]
