Aecf<n itii<s sp. ice. Sclater, P. 55, 8., 1883, p. 51, 

 Om of the raast frequently met with birds. Feetls at the coeoanat flowers. 

 The [first instalment of the] collection contained two skins in hid condition 

 (marke^l " $ ") which I thought might probably be referable to a female of 

 some species of Nectarinia. The [second instalment] compreliends nine 

 specimens of the same bird of botli sexes. It is evidently a JkOipliagine 

 bird of the genus Stigiimtoi»H, and, so far as I can tell, without actual 

 comparison with the types, inseparable from S. squamata of Salvador!. 

 This species was discovered by liosenberg on Khor Island between the 

 Kt' grouj) and Ceram-laut, and may therefore prolmbly also occur in the 

 Teniml»cr group from which Kht*r lies not very far north. 



37. Philemon timoblaoensis, Meyer, 



P. plumigmis, Sclater, F. Z, S., 1883, p. 199. 



rhihmon timorhtfjejms is the name proposed by Dr, Meyer for the 

 fipecies designated F. plumiffenis by Sclater (F. Z. S., 1883, pp. 51 & 195), 

 The Timor^laut bird certainly differs from that from K6, but the 

 differences are scarcely to lie formulated in words. The Teuiml>er lard 

 seems intermediate between the Burn and K6 hmh. Dr. Gadow, in the 

 9th vol, of the Cat, of Birds, has not separated the species, nor has Mr. 

 Sbarpo, in the 16th part of Gould's " Birds of Now Guinea," though he 

 has expressed doubts as to their identity, [H, 0. F.]
