Mr. Hartert states (Nov. Zool. iii. p. 535) that S. kubaryi, Meyer, from German 
New Guinea, differs in no way from this species. The specimen from Lobo Bay 
was collected in July, 1828, by 5. Miiller, on the voyage of the T'riton.

It is with considerable hesitation that we refer the three specimens enumerated 
above to this species. In addition to the differences pointed out by Dr. Sharpe, 
the wings, rump, and tail are of a purer ultramarine blue without any’ tinge of 
green as in H. semicwruleus, and in the figure of the typical specimen of 
orientalis (Mon. Alced. p. 181, pl. 1xvi.). i 
orientalis (Peters). One. jr. South-East Africa (Rovuma River). 
This specimen agrees perfectly with the figure of the immature bird (Sharpe, 
loc, cit).
