112 MR. P. L. SCLATER ON BIRDS FROM [Feb. 20, 
Chalcophaps margarita, Salvad. op. cit. ix. p. 44. 
Phlogeenas jobiensis, Meyer, Mitth. zool. Mus. Dresden, i. p. 10 
(1875). 
Of this beautiful Pigeon there are a pair and a young bird in the 
collection, without the exact locality. 
Now that Salvadori has received the adult of this species from 
Jobie, I think there can be no doubt that Meyer’s Phlogeenas jobiensis 
is merely the young of this bird. I have compared Dr. Meyer’s type 
(now in Mr. Gould’s hands on loan) with my young bird, and find 
them agree in every essential, though Dr. Meyer’s specimen shows 
some traces of the purple colour of the adult appearing on the wing- 
coverts, which is not the case with my specimen. 
It is worthy of notice how nearly allied this species is to P. ery- 
throptera, of the Society group, which, however, differs in its rather 
smaller size and white forehead. 
58. PHLOG@NAS JOHANNA, sp. nov. (Plate XVI.) 
Fuscescenti-castanea, in dorso eneo lavata: tectricibus alarum 
minoribus extus nitide purpureis: capite et cervice undique 
cum pectore pallide cinereis, hoc colore in pileo saturatiore, in 
pectore clariore et in album purum transeunte ; occipite, sicut 
dorsum, eneo lavato : colore pectoris albo in semicirculum desi- 
nente, et margine purpureo sicut in alarum tectricibus precincto: 
alarum remigibus primariis fusco-nigris unicoloribus, secundariis 
et scapularibus extus dorso concoloribus: cauda supra dorso 
concolori, subtus nigricante, rectricum apicibus fusco-rufis : 
rostro nigro : oculorum ambitu nudo ; pedibus rubris: long. tota 
7°8, ale 4°4, caude@ 2°7, tarsi 1°1. 
A pair of this beautiful Ground-dove, which, so far as I can make 
out, is quite new, are in the collection ; the exact locality is unfortu- 
nately not given. 
The nearest species known seem to be P. stairi (G. R. Gray)’, 
of the Samoans, from which, however, P. johanne may be readily 
known by its lovely pure white breast, and P. canifrons, Hartl. & 
Finsch, of the Pelew group’, in which the hind part of the neck is 
rusty red. 
59. Cata@nas nicosparica (Linn.). 
One female, from Duke-of-York Island. Lesson (Voy. Coq. Zool. 
i. p. 342) has already recorded the occurrence of this species in 
New Ireland.

One skin in the grey, and one in the white plumage, from Duke- 
of-York Island.
