records it from the Duke of York Islands, Layard from the New Hebrides, and Nehrkorn from the 
island of Waigiou. 
As regards the habits and nidification of the present species I find nothing on record, but it 
doubtless assimilates closely therein to its near ally, Murysfomus orientalis. 
I have not deemed it necessary to figure this species, as there is no difference whatever between 
it and Eurystomus salomonensis, except that the present species has a black tip to the culmen, whereas 
in E. salomonensis it is entirely red. 
The specimen described is in my own collection. 
In the preparation of the above article I have, besides the series in the British Museum, 
examined the following specimens:— 
E Mus, II. E. Eresser. 
a, J. Blanche Bay, New Britain, 14th June, 1879 {Gerrard). h. New Ireland [Gerrard). c, ^/, ad. Astrolabe 
Mountains, New Guinea {A. Goldie). 
E Mus. H. B. Tristram. 
a. Fly river. New Guinea, 1877 {W. G. Laws).
