The distribution of these little black-hcaded JVlunias 

 seems to be very curious, for there is no doubt about 

 my specimen being M. Jagori and not M. hnmneicr'ps, 

 which also occurs in Celebes, Thcy may be inlroduced 

 into varions Islands in the same way that M. brunneiceps 

 is Said to have been introduced into Northern Borneo, 

 where it has nearly oiisted the native M. fuscans in some 

 localities.

Dr. Sharpe teils nie that he considers that Dr. Meyer 

 and Mr. Wigiesworth are right in naming the Celebean 

 species M. molucca and not M . prüpinqua as appears in 

 the Cataloyuc. 



The last named bird appears to be confined to Flores. 

 Dr. Sharpe had only one specimen, from Makassar, when 

 he wrote the C atalog ue in 1890, and he then expres- 

 sed his doubts on the subjcct. The series now obtained by 

 nie proves that M. molucca is the species of Northern 

 Celebes.
