96 Mr. H. Seebohm on Fijian 



paper. These corrections involve the removal of all the five 

 references to Layard from the synonymy, of which the last but 

 one is from the Proc. Zool. Soc. and not from the ^ Ibis' as 

 quoted by Dr. Gadow. 



Male. Yellow supraloral patch very conspicuous; rectrices 

 nearly black ; uuderparts lemon-yellow ; black pectoral band 

 almost obsolete. 



Pachycephala aurantiiventris, sp. nov. 



The Vanua-Levu Bush Shrike was discovered by Mr. 

 Layard at Bua in Vanua Levu, but was not regarded by him 

 as distinct from the Viti-Levu species Pachycephala graeffii. 

 It appears to be undescribed. It differs from its near ally 

 in having the underparts orange-yellow, instead of lemon- 

 yellow. The types are in the Layard Collection ; there are 

 two examples in the British Museum obtained by Dr. Smith 

 (referred by Dr. Gadow [op. cit. p. 202) to P. graeffii), and 

 there are four examples in the Tristram Collection. 



Male. Yellow supraloral patch very conspicuous ; rectrices 

 nearly black ; underparts orange-yellow ; black pectoral 

 band almost obsolete. 



Pachycephala neglecta. 



The Ovalau Bush Shrike was discovered on Ovalau by 

 Mr. Layard (Layard, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1879, p. 147) and 

 the types are in the Layard Collection. 



It was, like the last-named species, referred by Dr. Gadow 

 to P. graeffii, an allied species from Viti Levu, from which 

 it differs in having a very much more complete black pectoral 

 band, and a very much less conspicuous supraloral patch. 

 There are two examples in the British Museum, four in the 

 Layard Collection, and one in the Tristram Collection. 



Male. Yellow supraloral patch almost or quite absent ; 

 rectrices nearly black ; underparts lemon-yellow ; black 

 pectoral band not quite meeting in the centre. 



Pachycephala torquata. 



The Taviuni Bush Shrike was discovered on Taviuni by 

 Lieutenant Liardet (Layard, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1875, p. 150), 

 and the types are in the Layard Collection.
