Grorrroyvs JopiEensis (Meyer). 
Geoffroyus personatus jobiensis Kothsch. & Hartert, Nov. 
Zool. viii. p. 85 (1901) (Jobi Island, Konstantinhafen, 
Stephansort). 
This species is not peculiar to Jobi, but is found also 
along the north-eastern coast of New Guinea, as far east as 
Astrolabe Bay. 
GEOFFROYUS MysokENsIS (Meyer). 
Geoffroyus personatus mysoriensis Rothsch. & Wartert, Noy. 
Zool. viii. p. 85 (1901). 
GEOFFROYUS DORSALIS Salvad.; Rotlsch. & Hartert, |. c. 
I have already mentioned the probability of G. dorsalis 
being an accidental variety of G. pucherani ; Rothschild and 
Hartert are very positive on tke subject, but it remains to 
explain the strange character shown by the type of G. dorsalis 
in the yellowish tinge on the inner web of the innermost 
secondaries near the scapulars, a feature that G. dorsalis has 
in common with G. simpler and G. heteroclitus. 
GEorrroyus CYANICOLIs (S. Mill.). 
Geoffroyus cyanicollis cyanicollis Rothsch. & Uartert, |. ¢. ; 
Hart. op. cit. x. p. 46 (1903). 
GEOFFROYUS OBIENSIS (Finsch). 
Geoffroyus cyanicollis obiensis Rothsch. & Hartert, op. cit. 
vill. p. 86 (1901). 
According to Rothschild and Hartert, this species is con- 
fined to the Obi group, while specimens from Batchian belong 
to G. cyanicollis, which ‘‘ sometimes has the same brown-red 
rump which seems to bea constant character of G. obiensis.” 
According to these ornithologists, in the Obi bird “ the light 
nape-band is in both sexes wider than in the birds from 
Halmahera, Batjan, and Morty, the greenish-blue colour of 
the nape-band extending nearly or quite up to the hind 
margin of the eye, while in typical cyanicollis it is widely 
separated from the eye. The lilac-blue crown of the male 
of G. obiensis, as well as the brownish-blue one of the female,
