The distribution of these little black-headed Munias 
seems to be very curious, for there is no doubt about 
my specimen being M. Jacjori and not M. brunneiceps , 
which also occurs in Celebes, They may be introduced 
into various islands in the same way that M. brunneiceps 
is said to have been introduced into Northern Borneo, 
where it has nearly ousted the native M. fuseans in some 
localities.

Dr. Sharpe tells me that he considers that Dr. Meyer 
and Mr. Wiglesworth are right in naming the Celebean 
species M. molucca and not M. propinqua as appears in 
the Catalogue, 
The last named bird appears to be confined to Flores. 
Dr. Sharpe had only one specimen, from Makassar, when 
he wrote the Catalogue in 1890, and he then expres¬ 
sed his doubts on the subject. The series now obtained by 
me proves that M. molucca is the species of Northern 
Celebes.
