128 Prof. T. Salvadori on the 
birds of the Solomon Islands; and I should say that the spe- 
cimens alluded to require comparison. 
“CHarcites pLacosus, Lath.,” Ramsay, ibid. 
If the birds mentioned by Mr. Ramsay are like C. minu- 
tillus, Gould, they cannot be C. plagosus, which has the upper 
part of the head a beautiful coppery red colour. 
PACHYCEPHALA ORIOLOIDES, Peale; Ramsay, ibid. 
I should call this Pachycephala astrolabi, Bp. Consp. 1. 
p. 32. Mr. Ramsay adds the description of the female, which 
I take to be=Pseudorectes cinnamomeum (sic), Ramsay, 
Nature, xx. p. 125, not mentioned in the original paper. 
GRAUCALUS HyPpoLEucus, Gould; Ramsay, /. c., p. 71. 
This is quite new to the Solomon Islands; and I should say 
that it requires comparison. 
GRAUCALUS DUSSUMIERI, Less.; Ramsay, ibid. 
This is a species of the Philippines ; and I do not think that 
it can have found its way to the Solomon Islands. Most 
likely the bird intended is G. sublineatus, Sclater, P. Z. 8S. 
1879, p. 448, pl. xxxvi. 
GRAUCALUS PUSILLUS, Ramsay, ibid. 
This seems to be a good species, allied to G. axillaris, Salvad. ; 
but it is very difficult to give an opinion on Graucali and 
Campophagidee in general without actual examination. 
CARPOPHAGA PISTRINARIA, Bp.; Ramsay, /.c. p. 72. 
Mr. Ramsay remarks that this species comes near C. van- 
wycki. Once I thought that they were the same (Monogr. 
del sottog. Globicera, p. 25) ; but such is not the case, as Mr. 
Sclater assures me. 
Macropryeia, sp., Ramsay, /.c. p. 73. 
Mr. Ramsay writes to me that he has lately described this 
species as M. castanea. 
PrinoPus viripIis, var., Ramsay, ibid. 
Surely this is not the true P. viridis from the Amboina 
group, but most likely a new species.
