produced the 204 species enumerated, 1 1 of which are described as new, 
but the validity of several of them is challenged by T. Salvador! [infra,

Three hundred and fifty specimens, ascribed to 45 species, were col- 
lected by Mr. J. Cockerell on the visit of the schooner ‘ Ariel * to three 
trading stations in the above group. The species described as new are 
Graucalus pusillus [Cami)op)hagidaj'], Myiagra ferro-cyanca and M. pallida, 
Monarcha rufo-castanea and M. hrodiei, Sauloprocta cockerelli, Rhipidura 
rubrofrontata [Muscicapidee'], Cinnyris (?) dubia [Nectariniid(je\ There 
is a kind of abstract of the results of this expedition, without any author’s 
name or initials, in Nature, xx. p. 125, but there are several important 
discrepancies between the two accounts, in the scientific names both of 
new and other species.

Islands, with Remarks on some Australian Birds mentioned in Mr. 
R. B. Sharpe’s Cat. of Birds, vol. iv. Tom. cit. pp. 313-319. 
Of the newly named species in the preceding paper, Monarcha rufo- 
castanea apparently = M. castaneiventris, Verr. ; Grauculus pusillus is to 
stand as G. solomonensis ; a Macropygia [Columbidce]i& described as new ; 
and the name of Rhipidura sharpii is proposed for the Tasmanian R- 
saturata, which has however already been altered by R. B. Sharpe to 
R. diemenensis [Muscicapidee'],
