3G. Stigmatofs SALVAnoRii, Meyer, op. cit. 



Stigrtiatops sqiuanata, Salvad. Sclater, P. Z. S., 1883, p. 198. 

 Nectarinia sp. ice, Sclater, P. Z. S., 1883, p. 51. 



One of the most frequently met with birds. Feeds at the cocoanut flowers. 

 The [first instalment of the] collection contained two skins in bad condition 

 (marked " $ ") which I thought might probably be referable to a female of 

 some species of Nectarinia, The [second instalment] comprehends nine 

 specimens of the same bird of both sexes. It is evidently a Melipliagine 

 bird of the genus Stigmatops, and, so far as t can tell, without actual 

 comparison with the types, inseparable from S, squnmata of Sulvadori. 

 This species was discovered by Rosenberg on Khor Island between the 

 Ke group and Ceram-laut, and may therefore probably also occur in tlio 

 Tenimber group from which Khor lies not very far north. 



37. Philemojs' timorlaoensis, Meyer. 



P. phimigenis, Sclater, P. Z. S., 1883, p. 199. 



rhilcmon timorlaoertms is the name proposed by Pr. :>reyer f[>r the 

 species designated P,plumigeui$ by Sclater (P. Z. S., 1883, ]>p. 51 & 195). 

 The Timor-laut bird certainly differs from that from Ke, but tho 

 differences are scarcely to be formulated in words. The Tenimbur bird 

 Feems intermediate between the Buru and Ke birds. Dr. Gadow, m the 

 9th vol. of the Cat. of Birds, has not separated the species, nor l>i^ Mr- 

 Sharpe, in the 16th part of Gould's "Birds of New Guinea, though ho 

 has expressed doubts as to their ident ity. [H. 0. F.]
