IL — On some Birds from Bugotu, Solomon Islands, and Santa 

 Cruz. By H. B. Tristram, D.D., F.R.S. 



(Plate III.) 



Through the kind assistance of my friend Dr. P. H. Metcalfe, 

 I have received two small collections of birds from the 

 Solomon group and its vicinity : one from Santa Cruz, col- 

 lected for me by Mr. Forrest, of the Melanesian Mission, and 

 the other from Bugotu, collected by the Kev. Dr. Welchman.
