~ Graucalus pusillus. Monarcha brodiei. 
Myiagra ferrocyanea. Sauloprocta cockerelli. 
5, pallida. Rhipidura rubrofrontata. 
Monarcha rufocastanea. Cinnyris (?) dubia. 
All these are from Gualdacanar, except the last, which is 
from Savo. Besides these, the collection contains examples 
of Lorius cardinalis, Carpophaga rufigula, and of the Megapode 
of Savo, called Megapodius brenchleyi by G. R. Gray, from 
the egg. ‘Taking this paper in connexion with that of Mr. 
Tristram in our last number, it seems certain that the 
Solomon Islands possess a very rich avifauna, and that each 
island is well worthy of special investigation. 
In reference to this paper, see also Count Salvadori’s 
article supra, p. 126. 
17. Ramsay on the Zoology of New Guinea. 
[Contributions to the Zoology of New Guinea. Parts IV. & V.—Re- 
marks on recent Collections made by Mr. Andrew Goldie in the South- 
east portion of New Guinea and the Louisiades. By Ed. P. Ramsay, 
F.L.S. &c. Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. W. iv. p. 89. |] 
Contains an account of a third collection, made at Port 
Moresby and in its vicinity, by Mr. Goldie. The species not 
previously recorded are numbered continuously from Mr. 
Ramsay’s last paper on the same subject (Proc. Linn. Soc. 
N.S.W. u. p. 14), whereby it appears that the total number 
of species as yet obtained from this locality is 220. Mr. 
Ramsay adds some general remarks on the avifauna, and a 
table showing the distribution of the species. 
18. Reinhardt on the ornamental Wing-feathers of the King 
Eider and Mandarin Duck. 
[ Vingeprydelserne hos Konge-Kderfuglen og Mandarin-Anden. Af J. 
Reinhardt. Vid. Meddel. fra d. naturh. Foren. i. Kbhyn. 1879-80, ] 
Prof. Reinhardt corrects J. C. H. Fischer’s recently pub- 
lished account of the two peculiar feathers of the scapulars 
of the King Eider (Somateria spectabilis), and points out 
that they have been previously described by Nilsson, Sun- 
devall, and others. These feathers occur in other Somaterie, 
but not in Heniconetta stelleri. ‘The apparently corresponding 
feathers in the Mandarin Duck are differently constituted.
