now agrees with me in considering liis G. cmgustifrons not 

 different from G. hypoleucus, Gonld. 



Edoliosoma, sp., Ramsay, /. c. p. 284, 

 The birds alluded to by Mr. Ramsay are females and young 

 males of E. melas. 



Campephaga boyeri (Q. et G.)^ apud Ramsay, /. c. p. 284. 



The southern bird so named by Mr. Ramsay belongs to 

 Graucalus axillaris, lately discriminated by Mr. Sharpe. 

 The differences from the northern G. boyeri were first pointed 

 out by me (Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. ix. p. 26). 



MeLIPHAGIDjE. 



Stigmatops albo-auricularis, Ramsay, /. c. pp. 75, 285. 

 Unknown to me. 



Ptilotis germana, Ramsay, /, c. pp. 2, 285. 

 Unknown to me. 



Gliciphila subfasciata^ Ramsay, /. c. p. 286. 

 I have satisfied myself that this species is really the same 

 as G. modest a, Gray. 



ZoSTEROPIDiE. 



ZosTEROPs LONGiROSTRis, Ramsay, sp. nov., /. c. p. 288. 

 From Heath Island. Unknown to me.

Ptilopus perlatus (Temm.), apud Ramsay, /. c. p. 290. 

 This is the southern form, P. zonurus, Salvad. 



Ptilopus rtvolii (Prevost), Ramsay, I.e. p. 290. 



I am not quite convinced that Mr. Ramsay has rightly 

 identified the birds from Deboyne Island, Teste Island, 

 Cloudy Bay, Blunden River, &c. 



Deboyne Island and Teste Island belong to the Louisiade 

 archipelago, as does Duchateau Island, where the typical speci- 

 men of P. strophium, Gould, was killed; this has no rose-purple 

 on the chest, although it looked to me fully adult. If all 

 the specimens from Deboyne Island and Teste Island are 

 without any red on the underparts, I should say that they 

 belong to P. strophium. As to the specimens from Cloudy
