11. Ptilinopus pelewensis, n. sp. 



Supra Icete viridis, remigibus majoribus nigris, apice et margine 

 externa late viridibus, minoribus intensiiis viridibus, limbo ex- 

 terna tenuissime flavo ; rectricibus mediis viridibus, reliquis 

 pagania interna nigris, externa viridibus, omnibus ajnce late 

 flavis ; pilea circumscripte vialacescenti-roseo, limbo inarginali 

 Jlava, fronte pallidiore ; capite reliquo coUoque dilute flavo- 

 virentibus ; jugidi pluinis macula lata vialacea transversim 

 notatis ; ventre media saturate aurantiaeo; crisso subjlavo ; 

 subcaudalibus basi alhis, media flavis, apice late rosea-vio-

 pedibus pallidis. 

 Long, circa 9|", rostr. 6'", alse 5" 2"', caudae 2^", tars. 10"'. 

 One adult specimen in good condition. Nearly allied to Ptili- 

 nopus roseicapillus. Less., from the Marianne Islands. But this 

 latter species differs from it in having a distinct rose-red spot at the 

 rictus, in the white throat, in the greyish-green colour of the head 

 and neck, the whitish tips of the guttural plumes (which are without 

 any purplish markj, in the red spots on the underbreast, the orange 

 under tail-coverts, &c. &c. Another allied species is Ptilinopus 

 fasciatus ; but in this the hypogastrium and crissum are dark yellow, 

 the purplish spot is on the underbreast, the under tail-coverts are of 

 a reddish orange, the head, neck, and breast are whitish grey. 



12. Carpophaga pacific a, Gm. 



Exactly like specimens from the Navigator group. 



13. Megapodius senex, Hartl. 



14. Rallina fasciata, Raffl. 



Av. jun. Capite, collo et pectore dorso concoloribus, fuscis ; 

 plumis nannidlis castanets in fronte et occipite conspicuis ; gas- 

 trceo obsolete fasciata ; alis sicut in a_dulta. 

 The hitherto known localities for this species are Sumatra, the Phi- 

 lippines, and the Pelew Islands.
