1888.] BIRDS OF THE SOLOMON ARCHIPELAGO. 195 



The specimens obtained by Mr. "Woodford in Fauro, and doubt- 

 fully referred by me in my paper (P. Z. S. 1887, p. 331) to M. cas- 

 taneiventris, now prove to be a well-marked and distinct species (see 

 Sharpe, above, p. 183). I think the following localities will be 

 found correct for the three species : — 



Monarcha castaneiventris (Verr.), hab. Guadalcanar. 



rufo-castanea, Ramsay, hab. San Christcval. 



erythrosticta, Sharpe, hab. Fauro. 



33. PlEZORHYNCHTJS BRODIEI. 



Monarcha hrodiei, Ramsay, Salvad, t. c. ii. p. 26. 

 Peizorhynchus hrodiei, Sharpe, in Gould's Birds of New Guinea, 

 pt. xviii. pi. 



a. S ad. Aola, Guadalcanar ; 30.4. 87. Bill slate-blue; legs 

 slate-blue ; iris black. 



b. <S ad. Rovatu River, Guadalcanar; 21. 5. 87. Bill slate 

 legs slate ; iris black. 



c. (5 ad. Aola, Guadalcanar; 3. 7. 87. Bill slate; legs slate 

 iris black. 



d. 2 ad. Aola, Guadalcanar ; 4. 7. 87. Bill slate ; legs slate 

 iris black. 



e. <S ad. Aola, Guadalcanar; 6. 7. 87. Bill slate; legs slate 

 iris black. 



If Mr. Woodford has sexed these birds correctly, the 5 is identical 

 with the 6 , and the bird figured by Mr. Sharpe {op. cit.) as the 

 adult 2 must be immature. 



34. Rhipidura cockerelli.
