Amberuoh River were uot labelled, and Mr. vau Uaivenbode only told lis where they 

 came from. It is therefore quite probable that Uumas, uot beiug a naturalist and 

 probably unaware of the importance of localities, sent specimens from various places 

 in the same box with the Ambernoh River sj)ecimens. 



A specimen from the little island of tJagi, west of Waigiu, collected by Dr. 

 Bernstein, which we received in exchange irom the Leyden Mnseum, agrees 

 jierfectlv with /'. g.jobicnsig in colour, but the wings are longer, measuring 00 mm. 

 One from Waigiu, in the British Museum, collected by A. R. Wallace, does not 

 differ from P. q. jobiciisis in any respect. More material from Waigiu and Gagi 

 must be studied in order to decide if it be possible to separate the birds from these 

 islands from jobiciisis. We have no examples from Miosuom, where they agree 

 with /obiciisis in colour, but are larger. (Pac/f/cejj/tdla iiiiosnoineiisis Salvad.,

 The young birds are more rufous brown above, and the secondaries have wide rufous

Doherty did not come across this species on Mafor in the Geelvink Bay, where 

 it has been found by former collectors. Specimens from Banda (typical locality), 

 Tifore, Dammer in the Moluccas, and from the South-East Islands and Key group 

 seem to be indistinguishable.
