Under the heading Eudynamis rufiventer, Shelley has 

 catalogued birds from New Rritain, Duke of York Island, 

 and the Solomon Islands. Those from the two first-named 

 localities have been separated as E. o. salvadori Hartert, on 

 account of their slightly larger size, while the bird from the 

 Solomon Islands has been separated by the same author 

 as il/'. 0. alherti Hartert. Dr. Hartert has designated Dorei 

 as the type-locality of E. rufiventer. Our adult bird seems 

 to agree with the typical specimen from Dorei, procured by 

 Wallace, and wrongly referred by Shelley to E. cyano- 

 cephala.
