E. cardinalis lives in the group of Ceram (Ceram, Am- 

 boina^ and Buru), E. grandis in the group of Gilolo^ and, 

 lastj E. polychlorus in the Papuan Islands — from Waigiou to 

 the Solomon Islands^ and in the Kei Islands^ which^ according 

 to my views, we must put with the Papuan Islands rather 

 than with the Moluccas. All this I have already shown in 

 the 3rd part [Psittaci] of my '' Prodromus Ornithologise Pa- 

 puasise et Moluccarum " (Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. x. p. 31), where, 

 owing to an omission of the printer, " Ceram ( Von Rosenberg , 

 Wallace) " has been left out from the localities inhabited by 

 E. cardinalis. The so-called E. polychlorus, from Ternate, 

 Gilolo, Batchian, and Morotay, is the male of E. grandis. 

 We have an evident proof of this in the fact that the so-called 

 E. linncsi, which now we know is the female of E. polychlorus, 

 is not to be found in the islands of the Gilolo group, but 

 only in the truly Papuan Islands.
