No. 110. $ ad. Vanua Lava, Sept. 12.—Bill and legs 
black; iris dark. 
This is an exceedingly well-marked species, and I can find 
nothing very closely resembling it. Its nearest ally seems 
to be G. fasciata of New Caledonia, but from this species it 
differs in its brown back, contrasting with the black forehead 
and vertex, these being bordered on each side by an eyebrow 
of white-tipped plumes; the ear-coverts and cheeks are also 
blackish, speckled with greyish white; the under surface of 
the body is uniform greyish white, without any dusky cross¬ 
bars, though the flanks have broad dusky brown streaks, 
and the under tail-coverts are centred with dusky and 
tinged with yellow ; the under wing-coverts and quill-linings 
are ferruginous.

Dr. Forbes having kindly lent me the type of Zosterops 
rendovce Tristr., I find, on comparison, that the New 
Hebrides birds are certainly distinct, having the culmen 
0-55-0‘6 inch instead of 0’65 as in Z. rendovcp (cf. Sharpe, 
Cat. B. ix. p. 188). They are rather greener in tint, and 
they all lack the yellow on the forehead, in this respect 
agreeing with birds from Aneiteum. They are not of such a 
bright yellow below as Z . flavifrons, and the greenish colour
