154 On some Papuan, Moluccan, and Sulu Birds. 



I would suggest that the specimen from Lapac Island, 

 different from the Ke Island specimens^ being " somewh a 

 darker on the cheeks, ear-coverts_, and lores, and apparently 

 smaller in all its measurements/^ should he the type of a 

 new species, for which I propose the name of Graiicalus 

 guiUemardi. 



Eos iNsuLARis, Guillem. ibid. p. 565, pi. xxxiv. 



This species seems to be intermediate between E. riciniata 

 from the Halmalieira group, and E. ivallacei from Waigiou, 

 Guebeh, and Batanta, and perhaps is more like the latter, 

 some specimens of this having a violet occipital spot like 

 E, insular is. 



COLLURICINCLA MEGARHYNCHA, Gllillcm. ibid. p. 571. 



Graucalus magnirostris, Forsten, Guillem._, ibid. p. 633. 



Of the first species one specimen from Batchian is men- 

 tioned, and of the second one from Waigiou; but both the 

 localities assigned upset what is known of the geographical 

 distribution of these species. As regards the first specimen, 

 Dr. Guillemard remarks that " as neither this genus [Colluri- 

 cincla) nor Rhectes has been recorded from the Moluccas, 

 some doubt must exist as to the accuracy of the locality.''^ 

 As to Graucalus magnirostris, Dr. Guillemard rightly notices 

 that " hitherto it has been considered as peculiar to the 

 Halmaheira group. '^ Trying to put things right, it has just 

 struck me that the labels of the two above-mentioned birds 

 may have been exchanged, and that, if that has happened, 

 everything would be clear. Colluricincla megarhyncha or, 

 more likely, C. affinis, Gr., which is very much like the 

 Colluricincla from Batanta, would be from Waigiou, and 

 Graucalus magnirostris from Batchian. 



LoRius LORY (Linn.), Guillem. ibid. p. 621. 



Dr. Guillemard mentions a specimen from Waigiou, which, 

 he says, '^ corresponds to Salvadori^s L. erythrothorax, but is 

 evidently only a variety of L. lory." If Dr. Guillemard 

 means to hint that my L. erythrothorax is a variety of 

 L. lory, I think that he is mistaken. In my ' Ornitologia ' 

 I have alluded to many specimens like that mentioned by
