We do uot find the alleged differences of B. r. stenozona constant, and cannot 

 separate the latter from B. s. reinwardtii . We consider the birds from New 

 Guinea to be inseparable from those from the Southern Moluccas. It is trn& 

 that they point somewhat to the large Fergnssou-form, but on the whole they 

 agree with reinwardtii. The wings of the present specimens measure 294, 299, 

 303, 307 mm. It is desirable to compare more specimens from Fergnsson, iu 

 order to confirm the apparently very distinct form B. s, megala.

Dr. van Oort {Nom Guinea ix., Zool. livr. i. p. 73) makes some interesting- 

 remarks, from which it appears that C. s. scintillatus and chloropterus occur in 

 the same locality. Further researches are desirable to definitely establish the 

 status of these two forms.
