Under the name of M. fulviventris Hartlaub has described a specimen from the Echiquier group, with the abdomen rather pale, exactly like others from the other localities mentioned above. 3.

Gen. vii. p. 924. sp. 20 (1875), Waigiou. [No. 289. Female : eyes hazel; stomach contained insects.- /. Mi] This species is allied to R. rufifrons (Lath.) from Australia, from which it differs in having the forehead black in the middle and white on the sides ; the tail is grey, white-tipped, and with scarcely any reddish colour near the base. S. Miiller described this species with the tail brown-black, instead of grey ; and this mistake made m e believe that the bird from Waigiou, described by me, was different. 4.

Female: eyes light hazel; legs flesh-colour ; stomach contained insects.-J. Mi] The sexes are exactly alike. The types in the Museum of Leyden are marked " Borneo," which is a mistake ; Bonaparte has given the exact locality. This species has a very extensive range ; I have seen specimens from Banda, Ceram-laut, Mysol, Salvatty, Waigiou, Mafor, Ternate, Dammar, Mareh, Motir, and Tifore. It is not quite certain that the bird described by Von Pelzeln (I. ci) was really from the Aru Islands. 5J MYZOMELA BOIEI, S. Miill. Nectarinia (Myzomela) boiei, S. Miill. Verh.
