form, Geoffroyus pucherani, Bp., I thought that it could not be the 

 same bird as Eclectus rhodops, Sehleg., from the Ceram group ; 

 accordingly I gave to Schlegel's species the name of Geoffroyus 

 schlegelii. Having, however, quite recently seen Gray's types in the 

 British Museum, I find that they really belong to the Ceramese 

 species ; and I am quite sure that the localities Waigiou and Mysol 

 are wrong. Those specimens no longer bear Wallace's original labels, 

 which circumstance may explain how it was that wrong localities 

 have been attributed to them.
