Ornithology of the Solomon Islands. 129 
“ CALORNIS CANTOROIDES, Less.,’’ Ramsay, J. c. p. 76. 
This is no species of Lesson, but of Gray. The Solomon 
Islands are a new locality for this bird. I have already men- 
tioned above that to it most likely belongs Calornis salomo- 
nensis, Ramsay, Nature, xx. p. 125, a name altogether left 
out of Mr. Ramsay’s full paper. 
Dica#um erytHrotnorax, H. et J.,apud Ramsay, l.c. p. 77. 
D. erythrothorax is from Bouru. I suppose that the 
Solomon-Islands bird mentioned by Mr. Ramsay is D. eneum, 
H.et J. Mr. Gray, in the ‘ Hand-List,’ i. p. 145, no. 1427, 
has wrongly united D. pectorale, of New Guinea, with D. 
erythrothorax. 
Myiacra FERROcYANEA, Ramsay, /.¢. p. 78. 
This bird, so strangely named, is quite unknown to me, 
and appears to be a good species. 
Mytacra patiipa, Ramsay, ibid. 
I feel much inclined to accept Mr. Ramsay’s suggestion 
that this may be the female of the preceding. 
MonarRcHA RUFOCASTANEA, Ramsay, /. c. p. 79. 
Mr. Ramsay writes to me that this is Pomarea castanei- 
ventris (Verr.). Mr. Tristram also has P. castaneiveniris from 
the Solomon Islands. I observe, however, that Mr. Ramsay’s 
dimensions are much smaller than those given by Mr. Sharpe 
for the type of this species, ‘Cat. Birds, iv. p. 435. 
MonakcuHa BRoDIEI, Ramsay, /. c. p. 80. 
This seems a good species. It is the same bird as that 
called M. barbata, Ramsay, in ‘ Nature,’ xx. p. 125! 
SAULOPROCTA COCKERELLI, Ramsay, /. c. p. 81. 
I question whether this is more than an accidental variety 
of S. tricolor. 
RuiPipuRA RUroFRONTATA (!), Ramsay, l.c. p. 82. 
Rhipidura rufofronta (!), Ramsay, Nature, xx. p. 125. 
See my remarks on R. russata below. 
CrnnyRis (?) puBia, Ramsay, /. ¢. p. 83. 
Mr. Ramsay 1s quite doubtful about the right position of
