154 On some Papuan, Moluccan, and Sulu Birds. 
I would suggest that the specimen from Lapac Island, 
different from the Ke Island specimens, being “ somewh a 
darker on the cheeks, ear-coverts, and lores, and apparently 
smaller in all its measurements,” should he the type of a 
new species, for which I propose the name of Graucalus 
guillemardi . 
Eos insularis, Guillem, ibid. p. 565, pi. xxxiv. 
This species seems to be intermediate between E. riciniata 
from the Halmaheira group, and E. wallacei from Waigiou, 
Gueheh, and Batanta, and perhaps is more like the latter, 
some specimens of this having a violet occipital spot like 
E. insularis. 
Colluricincla megarhyncha, Guillem, ibid. p. 571. 
Graucalus magnirostris, Forsten, Guillem., ibid. p. 633. 
Of the first species one specimen from Batchian is men¬ 
tioned, and of the second one from Waigiou; but both the 
localities assigned upset what is known of the geographical 
distribution of these species. As regards the first specimen, 
Dr. Guillemard remarks that tc as neither this genus ( Colluri¬ 
cincla ) nor Rhectes has been recorded from the Moluccas, 
some doubt must exist as to the accuracy of the locality.” 
As to Graucalus magnirostris , Dr. Guillemard rightly notices 
that “ hitherto it has been considered as peculiar to the 
Halmaheira group.” Trying to put things right, it has just 
struck me that the labels of the two above-mentioned birds 
may have been exchanged, and that, if that has happened, 
everything would be clear. Colluricincla megarhyncha or, 
more likely, C. affinis, Gr., which is very much like the 
Colluricincla from Batanta, would be from Waigiou, and 
Graucalus magnirostris from Batchian. 
Lorius lory (Linn.), Guillem, ibid. p. 621. 
Dr. Guillemard mentions a specimen from Waigiou, which, 
he says, “ corresponds to Salvadorks L. erythrothoraoc , but is 
evidently only a variety of L. lory.” If Dr. Guillemard 
means to hint that my L. erythrothorax is a variety of 
L. lory, I think that he is mistaken. In my f Ornitologia 9 
I have alluded to many specimens like that mentioned by
