the ' Catalogae o£ Birds ') , and only traces o£ red on the 

 sides of the forehead. 



Birds from the Aru Islands have been separated by G. R. 

 Gray as Eos rubrifrons (type in the British Museum). 



There can be no doubt that, as a whole, the Aru Island 

 birds have the shaft-streaks on the breast wider and more 

 orange in colour, while those on the rest of the underparts 

 are yellower and more extended. The difference between 

 New Guinea birds and Aru Island birds is tolerably well 

 marked in the series of skins before me. The amount of 

 red on the forehead is variable : the type of JE, 7'ubrifrons 

 and one specimen collected by Mr. Goodfellow at Silbatta- 

 batta, Aru, being exceptional in this respect. If the Aru 

 bird is kept separate it should stand as C. s. ruhrifrons 

 (Gray). 



This is the form figured by Mivart (op. cit.'). 



" The Yellow-streaked Lory was a common species and 

 met with in large flocks or in pairs. It was rather heavier in 

 its movements than the other species of Lory, but its flight 

 was equally swift and straight.'^ — C.H.B. G.
