There is no doubt about the correctness of the above identification, 

 as I have Verreaux's type before me. The Monarcha rufo-castanea of 

 Ramsay (see Sharpe, in Gould's Birds of New Guinea, part xviii. pi.) 

 is stated to come from Laugo, Guadalcanar ; but the three speci- 

 mens in the Natural-History Museum were obtained by Mr. G. 

 E. Richards in 8an Christoval, and I think it almost certain that 

 Mr. Ramsay's type specimens must also have come from that island.
