(S. Muller); Sula Islands, Flores (Wallace); Aracan, Tenasserim (Blyth); Labuan 

 (Motley & Billwyn); Banjermassing (Sclater); Siam (Gould); Cambodia (Walden). 



This must be a common species in the neighbourhood of Menado, judging from the 

 number of examples sent from that locality.

A. fiawgasbra (Gould), ex New Ireland, is closely related to this species. The male, 

 as described by Lesson and Garnot (Voy. Coq. Zool. i. p. 344, note), is undistinguishable. 



Nectarophila, Beichenbach. 



95. Nectarophila grayi (Wallace), P. Z. S. 1865, p. 479, "Menado;" Walden, Ibis,

Hab. Menado (Wallace). 



In the Proceedings of the Zoological Society (I. c.) Mr. Wallace states Menado to 

 be the habitat of this species ; but elsewhere (Ibis, I. c.) that gentleman states that he 

 obtained this Sun-bird in a forest district beyond the Lake of Tondano, at an elevation 

 of about 1500 feet. 



A sixth species of Nectarinia appears to inhabit Celebes (conf. Walden, Ibis, 1870, 

 p. 42. no. 30).
