All authors who have treated of E. rubra (Wallace, Schlegel, 

 Finsch, and myself, Orn. Pap. e Mol. i. pp. 253-254) have 

 noticed that the Buru birds are somewhat smaller and of a 

 deeper red. Dr. Hartert considers the differences as of 

 subspeciflc value. 



Eos semilarvata Bp. ; Mivart, Mon. Lor. pi. x. (1896). 

 The habitat of this rare species is still unknown.

The preference for the name E. variegata (Gm.), advocated 

 by Mr. Rothschild, does not seem to me to be fully jus- 

 tified ; it appears that Dr. Hartert has arrived at the same 

 conclusion.
