Mr. George Robert Gray gives New Ireland as a habitat of the present bird. It very- 

 probably occurs, but I have never read of its being met with there, neither does the British 

 Museum possess a specimen from the locality. 



Mr. Wallace has kindly forwarded me the following note 



" Alcedo moluccensis has the bill black, with a red patch at the base of the lower 

 mandible; feet red ; iris dark. It frequents banks of streams and eats small fish." 



The descriptions and measurements, as well as the figures in the accompanying plate, 

 are taken from an adult pair of birds. The male is from Celebes, sent to me by Mr. W. T. 

 Fraser, the female from Bouru, collected by Mr. Wallace.
